What is the difference between emf and potential difference in a battery?

Emf is the energy required to move a charge, while potential difference is the work done in moving a charge against the electric field. (correct)

Emf is the potential difference, while potential difference is the emf.

Emf and potential difference are the same thing in a battery.

Emf is the work done in moving a charge, while potential difference is the energy required to move a charge against the electric field.

How does the emf of a battery compare to the potential difference?

There is no relationship between emf and potential difference.

Emf is always less than the potential difference.

Emf and potential difference are always equal.

Emf is always greater than the potential difference. (correct)
