In the study of electrochemical reactions, one faraday is defined as the amount of electric charge that liberates one gram equivalent of an ion from an electrolytic solution.1
One faraday is equal to approximately coulombs, or more precisely, coulombs. This value represents the total charge of one mole of electrons.12
