Faraday Constant Fundamental Physical Constant

FaradayConstant is a natural constant and implemented as a UniqueConstant. Its value is defined [Cohen/Cvitas/etal_2007] (p.111) as the product of Avogadro's constant and the elementary charge. Thus, its value is 96485.30910 C mol^-1.

The dimension of FaradayConstant is $(0, 0, 1, 1, 0, -1, 0)$ .

FaradayConstant defines the following units:

CoulombPerMole (composed) and prefix variants

The constant should be used as a macro FARADAYCONSTANT:

std::cout << " F = " << FARADAYCONSTANT << std::endl;   // prints the Faraday constant

FaradayConstant is a Loki::Singleton, defined in namespace faradayConstant.
