Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is Faraday (based on carbon 12)?
-
It is a historical unit of electric charge equal to the charge carried by one mole of elementary charges, linked to the mole defined by carbon-12.
-
What does EMU of charge represent?
-
EMU of charge is the CGS-EMU system unit of electric charge, equal to the charge carried by one abampere in one second, corresponding to 10 coulombs in SI.
-
Why convert Faraday (based on carbon 12) to EMU of charge?
-
Conversion helps bridge electrochemical stoichiometry with classical electromagnetic theory and allows comparison of historical data with modern measurements.
