If you are talking about electrical potential, that would be "volts".

What unit measures EMF?

EMF stands for Electro-Motive Force, commonly known as Voltage, measured in Volts.


Another name for EMF?

"Potential difference" or "Voltage".


What relation of voltage and current?

Current is directionally proportional to the applied voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. <<>> EMF (electromotive force) is measured in Volts. Current is measured in Amperes. Like water pipes, EMF (or voltage) is the "push" or pressure in an electrical circuit. Current is like the gallons per minute . . . it is the "amount" of electrical flow.

What is the potential difference between two points in a circuit is called?

Voltage drop


Why emf of battery driving potentiometer is greater than emf of the cell to be measured?

Bcoz the emf which is to be measured is less than emf of driving cell....


Difference between voltage and emf?

'Voltage' is simply another term for 'potential difference', and an electromotive force is the open-circuit, or no-load, potential difference of a source such as a battery or generator.


Why do you measure emf with a potentiometer not with voltmeter?

EMF (E''electromotive Force'') is another term for Volts, hence the E in electronic formulas and EMF is measured with a volt meter. A potentiometer is not a meter at all, it is a variable resistor


What force does emf measure?

EMF stands for "electromotive force" and is (more or less) a synonym for voltage. Despite the name, it's not really a "force" in the physical sense (EMF is measured in, unsurprisingly, volts, while forces are measured in newtons), and is more properly referred to as a potential. See the related link for more details.


Difference between back EMF and induced EMF?

An induced electromotive force (emf) is an induced voltage. Voltage (emf) causes current flow, and this induced voltage will cause a current that is called the induced current.We might also add that the induced current will cause a magnetic field to expand about the current path, and this field will "sweep" the conductor. The sweeping of the conductor by that expanding magnetic field will set up an emf that will oppose the emf that was creating it.CommentTechnically, there is no such thing as an 'induced current'. It is voltage that is induced. Any current flows as a result of that induced voltage being applied to a load. But that current is certainly NOT induced!


Another word for voltage?

electromotive force (abbreviation: EMF or emf)


What is the difference between emf and mmf?

emf is electromotive force mmf is magnetic motive force emf drives electon where as mmf drives magnetic field
