r"""
A module providing some physical units as `Quantity` objects. Note that these
units are not imported by wildcard imports (e.g. `from brian2 import *`), they
have to be imported explicitly. You can use ``import ... as ...`` to import them
with shorter names, e.g.::

    from brian2.units.constants import faraday_constant as F

The available constants are:
