Add elementary charge of electron to Modelica.Constants #2303

Closed christiankral closed 7 years ago

christiankral commented 7 years ago

The elementary charge of an electron is unfortunately not defined in Modelica.Constants. As proposed in Modelica.Electrical.Analog.Semiconductors.HeatingDiode, it shall be calculated as

constant Modelica.SIunits.ElectricCharge q=Modelica.Constants.F/Modelica.Constants.N_A
      "Electron charge";

which gives a value of 1.602176620924561e-19 As.
