About Gigacoulombs
The gigacoulomb (GC) equals 10⁹ C ≈ 277 778 Ah, representing charge at the scale of global atmospheric electricity or very large-scale industrial electrolysis installations. Earth's global electric circuit maintains an atmospheric charge of the order of a few GC; a 1 GW·h grid-scale energy storage facility holds of order 1-10 GC depending on voltage. 1 GC = 10⁻³ TC = 10³ MC.
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.
