What is a nanocoulomb?

A nanocoulomb (nC) is a unit of electric charge equal to 10⁻⁹ coulombs, often used to measure small amounts of charge such as those on capacitors or from electrostatic discharges.

What does the faraday (based on carbon 12) represent?

It is a historical electric charge unit corresponding to the charge carried by one mole of elementary charges, used mainly in electrochemistry for relating charge to chemical amounts.

Why convert from nanocoulombs to faradays?

Converting helps relate minute electrical charges to chemical quantities in terms of moles of electrons, which is important for stoichiometric calculations and electrochemical analyses.
