Plural of faraday, a unit of electric charge equal to the amount of electricity needed to deposit one mole of a substance during electrolysis.
Named after Michael Faraday, with the standard -s pluralization. The faraday is used in electrochemistry to quantify charge transfer in chemical reactions.
The faraday is one of chemistry's most elegant units because it connects electricity to atoms—one faraday (about 96,485 coulombs) will always deposit exactly one mole of a simple element, making it a bridge between the electrical and chemical worlds.
