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 Microcoulombs
The microcoulomb (µC) equals 10⁻⁶ C, used for moderate capacitors, piezoelectric charge outputs, and laboratory electrostatics. A 1 µF capacitor at 1 V holds exactly 1 µC; piezoelectric accelerometers generate charge signals in the microcoulomb range under mechanical loading. 1 µC = 10⁻³ mC = 10³ nC.
