Faraday
In
physics, the
faraday (not to be confused with the
farad) is a dimensionless unit of
electrical charge; one faraday is equal to the charge of 6.02 · 10
23 electrons (one
mol). The faraday is no longer in general use and has been replaced by the
SI unit
coulomb; one faraday is equivalent to 96485.3415 coulombs.
Like the farad, the faraday was named after Michael Faraday.
