This article is complete as far as it goes, but it could do with expansion. In particular: The statcoulomb value read from an online converter -- not known its accuracy You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by adding this information.

If you would welcome a second opinion as to whether your work is correct, add a call to {{Proofread}} the page.

Also known as

The conversion factor $96485 \cdotp 3 \cdots$ is known popularly as the Faraday constant.

It is of course the number of coulombs of electric charge contained in $1$ mole of electrons.

Symbol

$F$

The symbol for the Faraday constant is $F$.

Its $\LaTeX$ code is F .
