Faraday

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

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 × 1023 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 The faraday is no longer in general use and has been replaced by the SI unit coulomb; one faraday is equivalent to 96485.3415 coulombs.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.
