I read a voltammetry article that listed the current in units of mf/s.
I want to convert the value to mA.
The units of a farad are As/V.
Therefore, mf/s would give mA/V.
But what voltage would I need to multiply by to get the current in mA.
Is it 1 V because a farad is the charge in coulombs a capacitor will accept to change the potential across a capacitor by 1 V?
Thank you for your help.
The abbreviation may have meant milli-Faraday / second = milliequivalent/s.
The Faraday is about 96485 coulomb/mole. 1mF/s= 96.5coul/s=96.5 A
Dear Robert Rodgers,
I think you're right - the authors probably meant milli-Faraday (not millifarad).
I expected to see milli-Faraday symbolized as mF (not mf as noted in the paper).
Thanks for clearing that up.
Sincerely,
Jay Brown
