A generator is charcterized by its internal resistance and electromotive force E. What is meant by electromotive force..(please i need perfect answer)
Electromotive force, commonly referred to as EMF, is the force that drives electric current. It is the potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit that causes the flow of electrons from one point to another.
EMF is measured in volts (V) using a voltmeter. This device measures the potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit. It is important to note that EMF is not a physical force, but rather a measure of the energy per unit charge.
EMF and voltage are often used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. EMF is the force that causes the flow of electrons, while voltage is the potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit. In other words, voltage is a measure of EMF.
EMF is directly proportional to the flow of electrons in an electrical circuit. This means that the higher the EMF, the greater the flow of electrons. However, other factors such as resistance and capacitance also play a role in determining the flow of electrons.
EMF can be generated by a variety of sources, including batteries, generators, solar panels, and power plants. It is also present in natural phenomena such as lightning. In everyday life, EMF is commonly used to power electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and household appliances.
