The terminal potential difference decreases when the current in the circuit is increased due to the internal resistance of the power source. As the current increases, the voltage drop across the internal resistance also increases, leading to a decrease in the terminal potential difference available to the external circuit. This is described by Ohm's Law, V = E - Ir, where V is the terminal potential difference, E is the electromotive force of the source, I is the current, and r is the internal resistance.
A terminal potential difference is the potential difference appearing across the terminals of a voltage source, such as a battery or a generator, which varies according to the load supplied.When the battery or generator is off load (i.e. no load is connected to it), the terminal potential difference is equal to the electromotive force of that battery or generator.The terminal potential difference tends to decrease as the load current increases, due to a corresponding increase in the internal voltage drop of the battery or generator.
Voltage is synonymous with 'potential difference', and cannot have a positive or negative value (in the sense of charge). So what you are describing is 'potential', which can. So, for example, a battery whose positive terminal is earthed or grounded will indicate a negative potential if a voltmeter is connected between earth and its negative terminal.
Your question should read "How do you get a negative potential?", for the reasons explained below.The term, 'voltage', is another word for 'potential difference'. The terms 'positive' and 'negative', when applied to a potential difference or voltage indicates the sense (or direction) in which the potential difference or voltage is acting. For example, if a second voltage is acting in the same direction as another voltage then it is acting in the positive sense; if it is acting in the opposite direction then in is acting in the negative sense'.It's very important to understand that you cannot apply 'positive' and 'negative' is the sense of charge or polarity to potential difference or voltage. You can, however, apply these terms to 'potential'. Potential is relative, and always measured with respect to a given point (often, the earth). So a point can be, for example, +5 V or -5 V with respect to another point (usually earth or ground, but not necessarily).Never confuse 'potential' with 'potential difference' and remember that 'voltage' means potential difference notpotential.So, to obtain a negative potential, earth (ground) the positive terminal of the battery or d.c. supply. All potentials measured relative to earth are now negative. To obtain a positive potential, earth the negative terminal of the battery or d.c. supply instead. All potentials measured relative to earth are now positive.If you want to get a negative potential,Earth the positive terminal of the DC power sourceConnect a resistor in series with the negative terminal of the sourceAt the other end of the resistor you get a negative potential (the value's less than the value of the power supply)

An electromotive force is the potential differenceappearing across the terminals of a battery, generator, etc., when that device is not supplying any load. When the device is supplying a load current, the electromotive force is equal to the sum of the voltage drops around the complete circuit, including any internal voltage drop.A potential difference (also known as a 'voltage'), as the name implies, is the difference in potential between two points.
A terminal potential difference is the potential difference appearing across the terminals of a voltage source, such as a battery or a generator, which varies according to the load supplied.When the battery or generator is off load (i.e. no load is connected to it), the terminal potential difference is equal to the electromotive force of that battery or generator.The terminal potential difference tends to decrease as the load current increases, due to a corresponding increase in the internal voltage drop of the battery or generator.
That's a difference in electrical potential, not potential energy.It's described in units of "volts".
Volts. Volts is another term for potential.
No, the terminal potential difference cannot be greater than the emf supplied. The emf represents the maximum potential difference that the cell or battery can provide, while the terminal potential difference is the actual potential difference across the terminals when a load is connected.
When it is being loaded.
The driving force for the flow of electrons in batteries is the potential difference, or voltage, created between the positive and negative terminals. This potential difference causes the electrons to move from the negative terminal (anode) to the positive terminal (cathode), creating an electric current.
The charges in an electrical circuit flow due to the presence of a potential difference, created by a voltage source like a battery or generator. This potential difference provides the force necessary for the charges to move through the circuit, from the higher potential (positive terminal) to the lower potential (negative terminal).
A battery is the device that creates a potential difference in an electric circuit. It establishes an electric field within the circuit that allows charges to move from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, creating an electrical current.
"The potential difference between the terminals of a battery will equal the emf of the battery when there is no current in the battery. At this time, the current though, and hence the potential drop across the internal resistance is zero. This only happens when there is no load placed on the battery-that includes measuring the potential difference with a voltmeter! The terminal voltage will exceed the emf of the battery when current is driven backward through the battery, in at its positive terminal and out at its negative terminal."

To induce polarity in a galvanometer, you can connect the positive terminal of a power source to one terminal and the negative terminal to the other terminal. This creates a potential difference across the terminals of the galvanometer, inducing polarity in the device.
