the quantity of electric charge that, passed though an ionic solution, will cause electrolysis of one equivalent of ions; it is equal to about 96,490 coulombs. The number of univalent metal ions (such as silver in a silver nitrate solution) which would be deposited as free metal by such a current is Avogadro's number, 6.023 x 1023.

In physics, the faraday (not to be confused with the farad) is a unit of electrical charge; one faraday is equal to the charge of 6.02 × 1023 electrons (one mole). The faraday is no longer in general use and has been replaced by the SI unit coulomb; one faraday is approximately equivalent to 96485.3415 coulombs.
