What Is EMF and Terminal Voltage?
EMF (electromotive force) is the voltage generated by a battery or cell when no current flows, while terminal voltage is the voltage across the terminals when current is flowing.
Key Points to Remember in EMF and Terminal Voltage
The difference between EMF and terminal voltage is due to internal resistance.
