Voltage is a measure of electric 'push'. When there's nothing to push (no circuit) it has no meaning, but that isn't to say it isn't there.
Just the same as if you push a car. Take the car away and your push goes away. (or does it?)

What is open circuit voltage when load is connected?
As load is conected in circuit , so thre is no open circuit therefore there would not be any open circuit voltage.
What is the function of emf in electric circuit?
An electromotive force is the potential difference developed by a voltage source, and is necessary to cause current to flow through a circuit. Strictly-speaking, it is the open-circuit potential difference of a battery, generator, etc. An alternative definition is that an e.m.f. is equal to the sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop, including any internal voltage drop.
What is difference between voltage and emf?
An electromotive force (e.m.f.) is the open-circuit, or no-load, potential difference provided by a source -such as a battery or generator. For a closed circuit, an e.m.f. is the sum of the voltage-drops around any closed loop, including the internal voltage drop of the source.A potential difference (voltage) can exist across any circuit component. For example, the fact that current is flowing through each of several resistors in a series circuit means that there must be an individual potential difference across each of those resistors (which we also term 'voltage drop').An electromotive force is the name we give to the open-circuit potential difference provided by a generator, battery, etc. For example, the open circuit potential difference of a battery would be its electromotive force.So, if we use a series resistive circuit as an example, the battery would provide the electromotive force, while voltage drops would then appear across its internal resistance, and across each of the resistances. The magnitude of the electromotive force is then equal (but acting in the opposite sense) to the sum of the voltage drops, including the internal voltage drop.Many textbooks use the symbol, E, to represent an electromotive force, and V to represent potential difference. So, Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, for example, will often be seen written as: E = V1 + V2 + V3 + etc.
What is the difference between voltage and emf?
E.M.F: Is the potential difference between two terminals when there is no current i.e. circuit is open, therefore [EMF = OCV].OCV :open circuit voltage.Voltage: Is the potential difference between two terminals when there is current i.e. closed loopAnswerAn e.m.f. (electromotive force) is a voltage or, more accurately, a potential difference ('voltage' is simply another word for 'potential difference'). However, it is the potential difference that appears across the terminals of a supply when it is not connected to its load. When the supply is connected to a load, this potential difference falls because of an internal voltage drop across the supply's internal resistance. So the simple answer is that an electromotive force is a supply's open-circuit terminal voltage.Another definition is obtained from Kirchhoff's Voltage Law, from which we can say that an electromotive force is equal to the sum of all the all the voltage drops around the circuit, including its internal voltage drops.
What is short circuit voltage?
Short circuit voltage is the voltage that has to be applied to the primaries of a transformer, so that the nominal current flows through the secondaries, when they are shorted. This value is important, if transformer secondaries shall be used in parallel. Ideally all transformers with parallel secondaries should have the same short circuit voltage. When their short circuit voltages are different, the transformer with the lower short circuit voltage will be loaded more than their relationship of power ratings would predict. The short circuit voltage is also important in the design of a transformer, because it predicts, how much the secondary voltage will drop at nominal output current. This knowledge helps the designer to find out, how many further windings the secondary needs for a certain voltage in relation to an ideal transformer. Short circuit voltage is also known as impedance voltage.
What is open circuit voltage when load is connected?
As load is conected in circuit , so thre is no open circuit therefore there would not be any open circuit voltage.
How do you find open circuit voltage in circuit?
"Open circuit voltage" is a characteristic of a battery or power supply. You measure it exactly as the term suggests ... disconnect any load from it (or open the ON/OFF switch), and measure the voltage across the terminals of the battery or power supply while it's not supplying current to anything.
When you add a second battery to a series circuit what happens?
Adding a seound battery to a series circuit will increase the voltage, and require less current to keep the lights (if there are any on) as bright. Say you have a 6v battery, then you add another 6v battery. the voltage of the circuit would be 12v
What is the function of emf in electric circuit?

What happens to the voltage if batteries if they are setup in a parallel and a series circuit?
Assuming all of the individual batteries are the same voltage, if arranged in a parallel circuit the voltage is the same as any one battery. If arranged in a series circuit the voltage will be the sum (the total) of all of the batteries added together.
What is the voltage after 5 milliseconds if the battery is a 12V source?
You will need to add more details. The voltage will always be 12 volts from a 12 volt source until a circuit is completed, discounting any discharging of a battery.
Describe how a battery can create a current in a conducting wire?
The battery produces a voltage; if a conducting wire - or any circuit for that matter - is connected, a current will flow according to Ohm's Law, that is, the current is calculated as voltage / resistance.
How do you detect the charge level of rechargeable battery .. is there any special circuit to do that?
If you want to know the voltage of any battery you need a volt meter. These can be as cheap as 15- hundreds of dollars. Knowing the voltage still doesn't tell you if a rechargable battery is fully charged or not. a charger with an indicater can tell you that.
Does a battery operated toy have a parallel circuit?
Yes, a battery operated toy has a parallel circuit - the battery is in parallel with the toy. In fact, this is true for any system where there is a single equivalent source and a single equivalent load. While it is true that this is also a series circuit, by Kirchoff's current and voltage laws a simple series circuit is also a simple parallel circuit.
As a battery ages and is used up what will the internal resistance be?
As it ages, its Kirchhoff virtual 'internal resistance' increases. Pictured this way, the practical effect is that the open-circuit voltage of a failing cell still measures good, but the voltage quickly sags when you try to draw any current from it
What is the current source replaced by open circuit across the terminals?
because an ideal current source is assumed to produce a constant current for any voltage and is assumed to have an impedence of infinity (open circuit).
Why is there resistance between the line and neutral of a receptacle?
The source is finite. Any real world power source is finite. You will see the same thing with a battery, for example (the battery has internal resistance). If you have no voltage at that recepticle, the resistance should approach infinite due to an open circuit (open breaker, fuse, broken conductor, etc.).
