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 Newmanns law?

It suggests that :- An EMF is set Up in circuit when the magnetic flux linking the circuit is changed in any manner.The magnitude of this EMF is proportional to the time rate of flux linkage with circuit.
