misconception regarding capacitors?



Textbooks tell us that a capacitor of capacitance 1E-10 is called a
100 pF capacitor. That's not true; it's called a 100 mmf capacitor,
or at least it useta be! At least capacitors that size were never
called condensers. Y'all remember getting a condenser in the kit
with your new points?
