pC = F × 9.648533212e+16
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 Picocoulombs
The picocoulomb (pC) equals 10⁻¹² C, the standard charge unit for radiation detector pulse heights and precision electrometers. Charge signals from Geiger-Muller tubes, scintillator detectors, and proportional counters are routinely expressed in picocoulombs; a 1 pF capacitor at 1 V holds exactly 1 pC. 1 pC = 10⁻³ nC = 10³ fC.
