In keeping track of how much chemistry is taking place in an electrochemical cell, we have a great advantage since we can direct and measure the exact amount of electric current that flows through the cell (thanks to the wonders of electrical measurement).
So, we need a means by which we can convert charge to numbers of electrons.
For this we use Faraday's Constant, \(F\). Faraday's Constant is given the symbol \(F\) and is defined as the charge in coulumbs (C) of 1 mole of electrons. Faraday's constant is approximately 96485 C mol-1. You can calculate \(F\) by multiplying the charge on one electron (1.602 x 10-19) by Avogadro'

One should acknowledge that there is not very much scope in India at graduate level of education.
It is not similar to core Engineering branches such as Mechanical, CS, ECE, Civil, etc.
It is multi disciplinary field.
If you have back ground knowledge of Geography, Geology, Climatology, Meteorology, Urban Planning, Natural Resource Management, Environmental Science, Water Resource Management etc at your Graduation level education then Geoinformatics at Masters Level will give you immense scope and opportunity to apply you graduation subjects in real world and you can earn huge bucks.
If you have Geo-informatics at graduation it wont hel
