What do you mean by 1mF ? It *should* mean 1000uF but popular US usage
( why
are Americans *always* so bloody minded ? ) was to use mF = uF.


cause it makes complete sense. m = *m*illi,

It simply isn't common practice to quote capacitance as milliFarads though. As
I explained it's prone to being misunderstood due to prior bad US practice.
