Specialty Definition: Faraday

(From Wikipedia, 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 The faraday is not generally used anymore, having been replaced by the SI unit coulomb; one faraday is equivalent to 96485.3415 coulombs.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.
