Charge Converter
Coulomb (C)
Definition: The coulomb (symbol: C) is the SI unit of electric charge. It is the charge transported by a constant current of one ampere in one second.
History/origin: Named after the French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, who developed Coulomb's law to describe the force between electrical charges in the 18th century.
Current use: The coulomb is the fundamental unit used in physics and electrical engineering to calculate electrical force and capacitance.
Faraday (F)
Definition: The Faraday (not to be confused with the farad) is a unit of electric charge equal to the charge of one mole of electrons.
History/origin: Named after Michael Faraday, one of the most influential scientists in history, who discovered the laws of electrolysis.
Current use: Mainly used in electrochemistry to calculate the amount of substance produced at an electrode during electrolysis.

How to Convert Coulomb (C) to Faraday (F)
1 c = 0.00001036 fr
1 fr = 96485.332 c
Example: convert 15 c to fr:
15 c = 15 × 0.00001036 fr = 0.00015546 fr
