That's a fairly standard definition and adequate for anyone whose knowledge
base is such that a query of Adam's level is expressed.

Perhaps this is more satisfactory:

>From which:
"The farad (symbolized F) is the standard unit of capacitance in the
International System of Units (SI). Reduced to base SI units, one farad is
the equivalent of one second to the fourth power ampere squared per kilogram
per meter squared (s4 . A2 . kg-1 . m-2)."

A much more intuitively accessible treatment.

That link has by far the most meaningless "definition" of Farad possible.
