FARADAY NUMBER (FARADAY CONSTANT)

"The Faraday Number (or constant) gives the amount of electrical charge needed to change one gram-equivalent of substance by electrochemical reaction. Its value is 96,485.34 coulombs or 26.80 ampere-hours. This charge is often simply called one ""Faraday."" Symbol: ""F,"" which is the same as the symbol of the farad. It is usually obvious from the context which meaning is appropriate. The Faraday number is the product of Avogadro's number and the electrical charge of a single electron. "
