In [[physics]] and [[chemistry]], the '''Faraday constant''' (named after [[Michael Faraday]]) is the magnitude of [[electric charge]] per [[mole (unit)|mole]] of [[electron]]s.<ref>The term "magnitude" is used in the sense of "[[absolute value]]": The charge of an electron is negative, but ''F'' is always defined to be positive.</ref> It has the currently accepted [[value]]

In [[mathematics]], '''hyperbolic functions''' are analogs of the ordinary [[trigonometric function|trigonometric]], or circular, functions. The basic hyperbolic functions are the '''hyperbolic sine''' "sinh" ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|ɪ|n|tʃ}} or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʃ|aɪ|n}}),<ref>(1999) ''Collins Concise Dictionary'', 4th edition, HarperCollins, Glasgow, ISBN 0 00 472257 4, p.1386</ref> and the '''hyperbolic cosine''' "cosh" ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|ɒ|ʃ}}),<ref>''Collins Concise Dictionary'', p.328</ref> from which are derived the '''hyperbolic tangent''' "tanh" ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|t|æ|n|tʃ}} or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|θ|æ|n}}),<ref>''Collins Concise Dictionary'', p.1520</ref> '''hyperbolic cosecant''' "csch" or "cosech" ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|oʊ|ʃ|ɛ|k}}<ref>''Collins Concise Dictionary'', p.328</ref> or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|oʊ|s|ɛ|tʃ}}), '''hyperbolic secant''' "sech" ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʃ|ɛ|k}} or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|ɛ|tʃ}}),<ref>''Collins Concise Dictionary'', p.1340</ref> and '''hyperbolic cotangent''' "coth" ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|oʊ|θ}} or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|ɒ|θ}}),<ref>''Collins Concise Dictionary'', p.329</ref><ref>[http://www.mathcentre.ac.uk/resources/workbooks/mathcentre/hyperbolicfunctions.pdf tanh]</ref> corresponding to the derived trigonometric functions.  The [[inverse hyperbolic function]]s are the '''area hyperbolic sine''' "arsinh" (also called "asinh" or sometimes "arcsinh")<ref>[http://www.google.com/books?q=arcsinh+-library Some examples of using '''arcsinh'''] found in [[Google Books]].</ref> and so on.
The constant ''F'' has a simple relation to two other physical constants:
:<math>F\,=\,eN_{A}</math>
where:
:{{physconst|e|symbol=yes|round=auto|after=;}}
:{{physconst|NA|symbol=yes|round=auto|after=.}}
''N''<sub>A</sub> is the [[Avogadro constant]] (the ratio of the number of particles 'N' to the amount of substance 'n' - a unit mole), and ''e'' is the [[elementary charge]] or the magnitude of the [[electric charge|charge]] of an [[electron]]. This relation is true because the amount of charge of a mole of electrons is equal to the amount of charge in ''one'' electron multiplied by the number of electrons in a mole.


Just as the points (cos&nbsp;''t'',&nbsp;sin&nbsp;''t'') form a circle with a unit radius, the points (cosh&nbsp;''t'',&nbsp;sinh&nbsp;''t'') form the right half of the equilateral [[hyperbola]].  The hyperbolic functions take a [[Real number|real argument]] called a [[hyperbolic angle]]. The size of a hyperbolic angle is the area of its [[hyperbolic sector]]. The hyperbolic functions may be defined in terms of the [[hyperbolic sector#Hyperbolic triangle|legs of a right triangle]] covering this sector.
The value of ''F'' was first determined by weighing the amount of [[silver]] deposited in an electrochemical reaction in which a measured [[Current (electricity)|current]] was passed for a measured time, and using [[Faraday's law of electrolysis]].<ref>[http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Constants/historical1.html NIST Introduction to physical constants]</ref> Research is continuing into more accurate ways of determining the interrelated constants ''F'', ''N''<sub>A</sub>, and ''e''.


Hyperbolic functions occur in the solutions of some important linear [[differential equation]]s, for example the equation defining a [[catenary]], of some [[Cubic function#Trigonometric (and hyperbolic) method|cubic equations]], and of [[Laplace's equation]] in [[Cartesian coordinates]]. The latter is important in many areas of [[physics]], including [[electromagnetic theory]], [[heat transfer]], [[fluid dynamics]], and [[special relativity]].
==Other Common Units of Faraday's Constant==
* 96,485 J (96.485 kJ) per volt gram equivalent
* 23.061 kcal per volt gram equivalent
* 26.801 A·h/mol


In [[complex analysis]], the hyperbolic functions arise as the imaginary parts of sine and cosine. When considered defined by a complex variable, the hyperbolic functions are [[rational function]]s of [[exponential function|exponentials]], and are hence [[meromorphic function|meromorphic]].
==Faraday unit of charge==


Hyperbolic functions were introduced in the 1760s independently by [[Vincenzo Riccati]] and [[Johann Heinrich Lambert]].<ref>Robert E. Bradley, Lawrence A. D'Antonio, Charles Edward Sandifer. ''Euler at 300: an appreciation.'' Mathematical Association of America, 2007. Page 100.</ref> Riccati used ''Sc.'' and ''Cc.'' (''[co]sinus circulare'') to refer to circular functions and ''Sh.'' and ''Ch.'' (''[co]sinus hyperbolico'') to refer to hyperbolic functions. Lambert adopted the names but altered the abbreviations to what they are today.<ref>Georg F. Becker. ''Hyperbolic functions.'' Read Books, 1931. Page xlviii.</ref> The abbreviations ''sh'' and ''ch'' are still used in some other languages, like French and Russian.
Related to Faraday's constant is the "faraday", a unit of [[electrical charge]]. It is much less common than the [[coulomb]], but sometimes used in electrochemistry.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=r-Qpy0KQayIC&pg=PA51 ''Foundations Of Physics, Volume 2'', by R. S. Gambhir, p51]</ref> One Faraday of charge is the magnitude of the charge of one mole of electrons, i.e. {{physconst|F|unit=no|after=&nbsp;[[coulomb|C]].}}


==Standard algebraic expressions==
Expressed in faradays, the Faraday constant F equals "1 faraday of charge per mole".

The hyperbolic functions are:


* Hyperbolic sine:
This faraday unit is not to be confused with the [[farad]], an unrelated unit of [[capacitance]].
::<math>\sinh x = \frac {e^x - e^{-x}} {2} = \frac {e^{2x} - 1} {2e^x} = \frac {1 - e^{-2x}} {2e^{-x}}</math>


* Hyperbolic cosine:

::<math>\cosh x = \frac {e^x + e^{-x}} {2} = \frac {e^{2x} + 1} {2e^x} = \frac {1 + e^{-2x}} {2e^{-x}}</math>
* [[Farad]], unit of capacitance
* [[Michael Faraday]]
* [[Faraday cage]]
* [[Faraday efficiency]]
* [[Faraday's law of electrolysis]]
* Faraday's law of [[Electromagnetic induction]]


* Hyperbolic tangent:
==References==
::<math>\tanh x = \frac{\sinh x}{\cosh x} = \frac {e^x - e^{-x}} {e^x + e^{-x}} = \frac{e^{2x} - 1} {e^{2x} + 1} = \frac{1 - e^{-2x}} {1 + e^{-2x}}</math>
{{reflist}}
 
* Hyperbolic cotangent:
::<math>\coth x = \frac{\cosh x}{\sinh x} = \frac {e^x + e^{-x}} {e^x - e^{-x}} = \frac{e^{2x} + 1} {e^{2x} - 1} = \frac{1 + e^{-2x}} {1 - e^{-2x}}</math>
 
* Hyperbolic secant:
::<math>\operatorname{sech}\,x = \left(\cosh x\right)^{-1} = \frac {2} {e^x + e^{-x}} = \frac{2e^x} {e^{2x} + 1} = \frac{2e^{-x}} {1 + e^{-2x}}</math>

Hyperbolic functions can be introduced via [[hyperbolic angle#Imaginary circular angle|imaginary circular angles]]:
 
* Hyperbolic sine:
::<math>\sinh x = -i \sin (i x)</math>
 
* Hyperbolic cosine:
::<math>\cosh x = \cos (i x)</math>
 
* Hyperbolic tangent:

* Hyperbolic cotangent:
::<math>\coth x = i \cot (i x)</math>
 
* Hyperbolic secant:
::<math>\operatorname{sech} x = \sec (i x)</math>
 
* Hyperbolic cosecant:
::<math>\operatorname{csch} x = i \csc (i x)</math>
 
where ''i'' is the [[imaginary unit]] defined by ''i''<sup>2</sup> = −1.
 
The [[complex number|complex]] forms in the definitions above derive from [[Euler's formula]].
 
==Useful relations==
Odd and even functions:
:<math>\begin{align}
  \sinh (-x) &= -\sinh x \\
  \cosh (-x) &=  \cosh x
\end{align}</math>
 
Hence:
:<math>\begin{align}
                \tanh (-x) &= -\tanh x \\
                \coth (-x) &= -\coth x \\
  \operatorname{sech} (-x) &= \operatorname{sech} x \\
  \operatorname{csch} (-x) &= -\operatorname{csch} x
\end{align}</math>
 
It can be seen that cosh ''x'' and sech ''x'' are [[even function]]s; the others are [[odd functions]].
 
:<math>\begin{align}
  \operatorname{arsech} x &= \operatorname{arcosh} \frac{1}{x} \\
  \operatorname{arcsch} x &= \operatorname{arsinh} \frac{1}{x} \\
  \operatorname{arcoth} x &= \operatorname{artanh} \frac{1}{x}
\end{align}</math>
 
Hyperbolic sine and cosine satisfy the identity
:<math>\cosh^2 x - \sinh^2 x = 1 </math>
 
which is similar to the [[Pythagorean trigonometric identity]]. One also has
:<math>\begin{align}
  \operatorname{sech} ^{2} x &= 1 - \tanh^{2} x \\
  \operatorname{csch} ^{2} x &= \coth^{2} x - 1
\end{align}</math>
 
for the other functions.
 
The hyperbolic tangent is the solution to the [[differential equation]] <math>f'=1-f^2</math> with f(0)=0 and the [[nonlinear]] [[boundary value problem]]:<ref>

\end{align}</math>
 
where ''C'' is the [[constant of integration]].
 
==Taylor series expressions==
It is possible to express the above functions as [[Taylor series]]:
 
:<math>\sinh x = x + \frac {x^3} {3!} + \frac {x^5} {5!} + \frac {x^7} {7!} +\cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}</math>
The function sinh&nbsp;''x'' has a Taylor series expression with only odd exponents for ''x''. Thus it is an [[odd function]], that is, −sinh&nbsp;''x''&nbsp;=&nbsp;sinh(−''x''), and sinh&nbsp;0&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.
 
:<math>\cosh x = 1 + \frac {x^2} {2!} + \frac {x^4} {4!} + \frac {x^6} {6!} + \cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}</math>
 
The function cosh&nbsp;''x'' has a Taylor series expression with only even exponents for ''x''. Thus it is an [[even function]], that is, symmetric with respect to the ''y''-axis. The sum of the sinh and cosh series is the [[infinite series]] expression of the [[exponential function]].
 
:<math>\begin{align}
 
                  \tanh x &= x - \frac {x^3} {3} + \frac {2x^5} {15} - \frac {17x^7} {315} + \cdots = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{2^{2n}(2^{2n}-1)B_{2n} x^{2n-1}}{(2n)!}, \left |x \right | < \frac {\pi} {2} \\
 
                  \coth x &= x^{-1} + \frac {x} {3} - \frac {x^3} {45} + \frac {2x^5} {945} + \cdots = x^{-1} + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{2^{2n} B_{2n} x^{2n-1}} {(2n)!}, 0 < \left |x \right | < \pi \\

  \operatorname {csch}\, x &= x^{-1} - \frac {x} {6} +\frac {7x^3} {360} -\frac {31x^5} {15120} + \cdots = x^{-1} + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{ 2 (1-2^{2n-1}) B_{2n} x^{2n-1}}{(2n)!} , 0 < \left |x \right | < \pi

==Comparison with circular functions==
[[File:Circular and hyperbolic angle.svg|right|250px|thumb|Circle and hyperbola tangent at (1,1) display geometry of circular functions in terms of [[sector of a circle|circular sector]] area ''u'' and hyperbolic functions depending on [[hyperbolic sector]] area ''u''.]]
The hyperbolic functions represent an expansion of [[trigonometry]] beyond the [[circular function]]s. Both types depend on an [[argument of a function|argument]], either [[angle|circular angle]] or [[hyperbolic angle]].
Since the [[circular sector#Area|area of a circular sector]] is <math>\frac {r^2 u} {2} ,</math> it will be equal to ''u'' when ''r'' = [[square root of 2]]. In the diagram such a circle is tangent to the hyperbola ''x y'' = 1 at (1,1). The yellow sector depicts an area and angle magnitude. Similarly, the red augmentation depicts an area and magnitude as hyperbolic angle.
The legs of the two [[right triangle]]s with hypotenuse on the ray defining the angles are of length √2 times the circular and hyperbolic functions.
Mellon Haskell of [[University of California, Berkeley]] described the basis of hyperbolic functions in areas of [[hyperbolic sector]]s in an 1895 article in [[Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society]] (see External links). He refers to the hyperbolic angle as an [[invariant measure]] with respect to the [[squeeze mapping]] just as circular angle is invariant under rotation.
==Identities==
The hyperbolic functions satisfy many identities, all of them similar in form to the [[trigonometric identity|trigonometric identities]]. In fact, '''Osborn's rule'''<ref>G. Osborn, [http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0025-5572(190207)2%3A2%3A34%3C189%3A1MFHF%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Z Mnemonic for hyperbolic formulae], The Mathematical Gazette, p. 189, volume 2, issue 34, July 1902</ref> states that one can convert any trigonometric identity into a hyperbolic identity by expanding it completely in terms of integral powers of sines and cosines, changing sine to sinh and cosine to cosh, and switching the sign of every term which contains a product of 2, 6, 10, 14, ... sinhs. This yields for example the addition theorems
:<math>\begin{align}
  \sinh(x + y) &= \sinh (x) \cosh (y) + \cosh (x) \sinh (y) \\
  \cosh(x + y) &= \cosh (x) \cosh (y) + \sinh (x) \sinh (y) \\
  \tanh(x + y) &= \frac{\tanh (x) + \tanh (y)}{1 + \tanh (x) \tanh (y)}
\end{align}</math>
the "double argument formulas"
:<math>\begin{align}
  \sinh 2x &= 2\sinh x \cosh x \\
  \cosh 2x &= \cosh^2 x + \sinh^2 x = 2\cosh^2 x - 1 = 2\sinh^2 x + 1 \\
  \tanh 2x &= \frac{2\tanh x}{1 + \tanh^2 x}\\
  \sinh 2x &= \frac{2\tanh x}{1-\tanh^2 x}\\
  \cosh 2x &= \frac{1+ \tanh^2 x}{1-\tanh^2 x}
\end{align}</math>

The [[derivative]] of sinh&nbsp;''x'' is cosh&nbsp;''x'' and the derivative of cosh&nbsp;''x'' is sinh&nbsp;''x''; this is similar to trigonometric functions, albeit the sign is different (i.e., the derivative of cos&nbsp;''x'' is −sin&nbsp;''x'').
The [[Gudermannian function]] gives a direct relationship between the circular functions and the hyperbolic ones that does not involve complex numbers.
The graph of the function ''a''&nbsp;cosh(''x''/''a'') is the [[catenary]], the curve formed by a uniform flexible chain hanging freely between two fixed points under uniform gravity.
==Relationship to the exponential function==
From the definitions of the hyperbolic sine and cosine, we can derive the following identities:
:<math>e^x = \cosh x + \sinh x</math>
and
:<math>e^{-x} = \cosh x - \sinh x</math>
These expressions are analogous to the expressions for sine and cosine, based on [[Euler's formula]], as sums of complex exponentials.
==Hyperbolic functions for complex numbers==
Since the [[exponential function]] can be defined for any [[complex number|complex]] argument, we can extend the definitions of the hyperbolic functions also to complex arguments. The functions sinh&nbsp;''z'' and cosh&nbsp;''z'' are then [[Holomorphic function|holomorphic]].
Relationships to ordinary trigonometric functions are given by [[Euler's formula]] for complex numbers:
:<math>\begin{align}
  e^{i x} &= \cos x + i \;\sin x \\
  e^{-i x} &= \cos x - i \;\sin x
\end{align}</math>
so:
:<math>\begin{align}
    \cosh ix &= \frac{1}{2} \left(e^{i x} + e^{-i x}\right) = \cos x \\
    \sinh ix &= \frac{1}{2} \left(e^{i x} - e^{-i x}\right) = i \sin x \\
\cosh(x+iy) &= \cosh(x) \cos(y) + i \sinh(x) \sin(y) \\
\sinh(x+iy) &= \sinh(x) \cos(y) + i \cosh(x) \sin(y) \\
    \tanh ix &= i \tan x \\
    \cosh x &= \cos ix \\
    \sinh x &= - i \sin ix \\
    \tanh x &= - i \tan ix
\end{align}</math>
Thus, hyperbolic functions are [[periodic function|periodic]] with respect to the imaginary component, with period <math>2 \pi i</math> (<math>\pi i</math> for hyperbolic tangent and cotangent).

In physics and chemistry, the Faraday constant (named after Michael Faraday) is the magnitude of electric charge per mole of electrons.[1] It has the currently accepted value

Template:Physconst

The constant F has a simple relation to two other physical constants:

where:

Template:Physconst
Template:Physconst

NA is the Avogadro constant (the ratio of the number of particles 'N' to the amount of substance 'n' - a unit mole), and e is the elementary charge or the magnitude of the charge of an electron. This relation is true because the amount of charge of a mole of electrons is equal to the amount of charge in one electron multiplied by the number of electrons in a mole.

The value of F was first determined by weighing the amount of silver deposited in an electrochemical reaction in which a measured current was passed for a measured time, and using Faraday's law of electrolysis.[2] Research is continuing into more accurate ways of determining the interrelated constants F, NA, and e.

Other Common Units of Faraday's Constant

  • 96,485 J (96.485 kJ) per volt gram equivalent
  • 23.061 kcal per volt gram equivalent
  • 26.801 A·h/mol

Faraday unit of charge

Related to Faraday's constant is the "faraday", a unit of electrical charge. It is much less common than the coulomb, but sometimes used in electrochemistry.[3] One Faraday of charge is the magnitude of the charge of one mole of electrons, i.e. Template:Physconst

Expressed in faradays, the Faraday constant F equals "1 faraday of charge per mole".

This faraday unit is not to be confused with the farad, an unrelated unit of capacitance.
