    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
