About Elementary charge
The elementary charge (e) is the magnitude of charge on a single proton or electron, defined exactly as 1.602 176 634 × 10⁻¹⁹ C in the 2019 SI revision. It is the quantum of electric charge - the smallest freely occurring charge in nature - and underpins all atomic and subatomic physics. A current of 1 A corresponds to 6.241 509 × 10¹⁸ elementary charges flowing per second.
About Faradays
The faraday (F) equals the Avogadro constant times the elementary charge - N_A × e ≈ 96 485.33 C per mole - and is the fundamental unit of electrochemical charge (Faraday's law: 1 F deposits one gram-equivalent of any substance). Depositing 1 g of silver (Ag⁺, M = 107.87 g/mol) requires 96 485 / 107.87 ≈ 894 C ≈ 0.00927 F; plating copper (Cu²⁺) requires 2 F per mole. 1 F ≈ 26.801 Ah ≈ 96.485 kC.
