Define emf.

  • Emf(electromotive force) of the cell drives the current carriers to move in a specific direction.
  • This Emf causes positive and negative charges to flow in a specific direction. As a result current is generated.
  • Emf is a misnomer.
  • This means from the name it suggests it is a force but actually it is not.It is the potential difference between the two electrodes.
  • It is known as force because it acts as initial force to start the flow of charge.
  • Emf is defined as maximum work done per unit charge to take charge from one point to another.
  • It can be also defined as maximum potential difference between (+ive) and (-ive) electrodes of the cell in an open circuit.
  • Emf provides an energy which does the work to move the charge from one point to another.
  • As there is potential difference between the two electrodes the charges will flow.

EMF stands for electro motive force it is the difference b/w the electrode potentials of the two electrodes of the cell.
