Faraday Constant

The electric charge carried by one mole of electrons, central to electrolysis and electrochemistry.

Core Principles & Analysis

• Equals N_A·e — the charge of one mole of electrons, about 96,485 coulombs.
• Faraday's 1834 electrolysis laws made it the bridge between chemistry and electric current.
• Battery capacities and electroplating masses are computed with it to this day.

Specifications & Metrics

• SYMBOL: F
• STATUS: Exact — derived from defining constants
