Daraf

The daraf is the unit of electrical elastance (symbol: F^-1), the ability of an electric potential to charge a capacitor; it is the reciprocal of the farad. Proposed by Arthur Edwin Kennelly in 1936 as a backwards spelling of farad, the daraf is not a recognized SI unit.

$1 F^{-1} = \frac{1 V}{1 C}$
