The storage capacity of a condenser in this type of ignition system is measured in?

In ignition systems, particularly those used in small engines, the storage capacity of a condenser is typically measured in microfarads. This measurement reflects the ability of the condenser to store electrical energy temporarily. Microfarads are commonly used in applications where capacitors need to store and discharge energy quickly to produce an ignition spark.

While nanofarads, picofarads, and farads are also units of capacitance, they are either too small or too large for the typical capacitive values encountered in small engine ignition systems. For instance, nanofarads might be used in high-frequency applications, while picofarads are used for very small capacitance in radio frequency circuits. Farads, being a much larger unit, would be impractical for the small-scale applications presented in ignition systems. Therefore, microfarads is the appropriate measurement for condensers in this context, ensuring effective energy storage for reliable ignition performance.
