A unit of electric charge in chemistry, named after scientist Michael Faraday; also refers to a Faraday cage, a protective enclosure blocking electromagnetic fields.
Named after Michael Faraday (1791-1867), a renowned British scientist who made discoveries in electromagnetism. The unit quantifies the charge needed to deposit one mole of substance.
Faraday cages protect important electronics and medical devices from electromagnetic interference—and they're so effective that your microwave oven uses one to trap radiation while heating your food!
