The Faraday constant, F=NA×e≈96500 C mol−1F=N_A\times e\approx 96500\ C\,mol^{-1}, is the total charge of Avogadro's number of electrons — i.e. the charge carried by one mole of electrons.

F=NA×eF=N_A\times e, where NA=6.022×1023 mol−1N_A=6.022\times10^{23}\ mol^{-1} (Avogadro's number) and e=1.602×10−19 Ce=1.602\times10^{-19}\ C (charge on a single electron); multiplying gives F≈96500 C mol−1F\approx96500\ C\,mol^{-1}. Option (b) describes the charge of a single electron, not a mole of them. Option (c) understates the number of electrons (6.022×10236.022\times10^{23}, not 6.22×10106.22\times10^{10}). Option (a) describes the charge needed to deposit one equivalent of substance during electrolysis (which numerically equals 1 Fara …
