Study Notes

Electromotive Force (EMF)

  • Defined as the electric potential generated by an electrochemical cell or by a changing magnetic field.
  • Commonly abbreviated as EMF.

Energy Conversion Devices

  • Generators and batteries convert energy from one form to another.
  • One terminal of these devices becomes positively charged, while the opposite terminal becomes negatively charged.
  • EMF represents the work done on a unit electric charge.

Application in Electromagnetic Flowmeters

  • EMF is utilized in electromagnetic flowmeters, demonstrating Faraday’s law of induction.

Voltage Equation

  • The relationship between voltage (V), current (I), internal resistance (r), and electromotive force (ε) is expressed as:
    • V = Ir
