Dimensional formula of Faraday constant
[T A mol-1]
The charge on one mole of electrons, about 96 485 C/mol.
How to get the dimensional formula of Faraday constant
- Start from the definition: Faraday constant = electric charge / amount of substance.
- electric charge = electric current × time, so electric charge is [A] × [T] = [T A].
- Put in the dimension of each part: [T A] / [mol].
- Add the powers of each base quantity: [T A mol-1].
Three questions on Faraday constant
2What is the SI unit of Faraday constant?
The SI unit of Faraday constant is the coulomb per mole (C/mol).
3Do Faraday constant and Boltzmann constant have the same dimensions?
Faraday constant is [T A mol⁻¹] but Boltzmann constant is [M L² T⁻² K⁻¹].
