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.
About Abcoulombs
The abcoulomb (abC) equals exactly 10 C - the charge unit of the CGS-EMU (electromagnetic) system, defined as the charge transported by 1 abampere (= 10 A) in 1 s. Two parallel wires each carrying 1 abampere and spaced 1 cm apart experience a force of 2 dyn per centimetre length. The abcoulomb appears in older electromagnetic engineering literature from the early twentieth century. 1 abC = 10 C.
