Symbol F. The electric charge carried by one mole of electrons or singly ionized ions, i.e. the product of the Avogadro constant and the charge on an electron (disregarding sign). It has the value 9.648 5309(29) × 104 coulombs per mole. This number of coulombs is sometimes treated as a unit of electric charge called the faraday.
