Define electromotive force?

A force that is created by charges or charge motion.AnswerAn electromotive force, by definition, is the open-circuit ( or 'no-load' ) potential difference created by charge separation within devices such as chemical cells, generators, etc. For a loaded circuit, the electromotive force of a source (by Kirchhoff's Voltage Law) is numerically equal to the algebraic sum of all the voltage drops around circuit, including any internal voltage drop within that source.Another AnswerElectromotive force is not a force. It is a traditional term used by physicists and engineers which is synonymous to a potential difference which charges travel through. Historically, it was initially believed that this force was provided by the inert characteristics of the potential. When this traditionally held standard was tested against clear and concise scientific data, gathered through careful experimentation, it is a generally accepted fact that the voltage ( or potential difference) is NOT a force.


Is the magnitude of force measured in grams or newtons?

Force is measured in newton. Gram is a unit of mass, not of force.Force is measured in newton. Gram is a unit of mass, not of force.Force is measured in newton. Gram is a unit of mass, not of force.Force is measured in newton. Gram is a unit of mass, not of force.


Gravitational force is measured in?

It's a force, so newtons, N.


What is the SI unit used to measure force and its abbreviation?

Force is measured in newton. Weight is a force; therefore it is also measured in newton.


What does input force mean in science?

For a rotational output such as a petrol or diesel engine, the force is Torque, which is measured in Foot.pounds or Newton.meters.
