I guess it's just a quirk of my personality, so no offense intended here, but how is it that you have come to pronounce Farad as the Arabic name Fahrad? I have never heard this pronunciation before in reference to the unit of capacitance. My unfortunately meager electrical pedigree includes time spent as a student at MIT in the late 1960's and I'm recalling in particular taking a class with then Professor Emeritus Harold Edgerton. It's no big deal to me how you chose pronounce the word, but I am quite curious as to how you came to that pronunciation. Your videos are quite good and I particularly appreciate them for their minutia that isn't generally discussed elsewhere.
