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
