Can the terminal voltage of a battery be larger than its emf?

the voltage of a battery could be larger than the emf if you are to charge the battery, in that case V=E+Ir .


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....


What is emf in physics?

EMF, or electromotive force, is a measure of the energy provided by a source (such as a battery) to move a unit charge around a closed circuit. It is responsible for driving the flow of electric current in a circuit. EMF is measured in volts.


Under what circumstances can the terminal potential difference of a battery exceed its emf?

"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."

What is the amount of push provided by the battery?

The amount of "push" provided by a battery is its electromotive force (emf). In common alkaline batteries, the emf is 1.5 volts.


How does the EMF of a battery which is made up of cells in series compare with the EMF of the individual cell?

The EMF of a battery made up of cells in series is equal to the sum of the EMFs of the individual cells. When cells are connected in series, their voltages add up. For example, if you have two 1.5V cells in series, the total EMF of the battery would be 3V.


How do you connect a voltmeter to a battery?

To measure the total emf simply connect the battery and voltmeter with the right terminals , but to measure the terminal potential difference which is less than the emf the voltmeter is connected in parallel with the battery


what will be the emf of the battery when Four cells each of emf E are joined in parallel to form a battery?

E. Joined in parallel, the voltage (or electromotive force, "emf") isn't additive. You'd get four times the current, or four times the life of a single battery, but it would have the same voltage.


Can the potential difference across a battery be greater than its EMF?

If the emf of a battery is E Volt, the potential difference across a battery is given byV = E -I r where I is the current in the circuit and r is the inetrnal resistance.Hence E and V will be equal only when I = 0.The maximum potential difference across the battery will be equal to E only if I = 0.In gnereral potential difference can be equal or less than the emf.E.m.f can never exceed the potential difference.=====================================A battery charger is a device used to put energy into a secondary cell or (rechargeable) batteryby forcing an electric current through it.Hence to charge a battery another source of emf is needed.The combined emf is now will be (E - E1) where E is the emf of the battey in quesiton and E 1 is the emf of the external source used to charge the battery.Note that E-E1 will be negative in sign.======================================...A battery is charged only when its emf is less than its maximum emf.Suppose that the maximum emf of a cell is 1.5V. The battery should be charged only when its emf is less than 1.5 V say 0.5 V.To charge the cell we use a different source of emf E1 say 3V.The positive of the second source is connected to the negative of the cell so that theCombined emf is now 0.5 - 3 = -2.5V.The negative sign indicates that the emf is opposite to the emf of the cell which is 0.5V.Since the cell is getting charged, the difference in emf is gradually reduced to zero when the cell is fully charged.In modern charging units there are provisions so that the cell is never allowed to be over charged, even if the charging unit is in on for about 12 hours.When the cell is fully charged, (that is when the emf of the cell is now 1.5V), the potential difference between either the second source or cell will be zero.Taking into consideration the sign of the emf and the direction of current through the cell and the sign of the potential difference, the potential difference will be always less than the emf of the cell (which gradually increases while charging).Note that the potential difference is negative if the emf of the cell is taken as positive.Also note that the cell is charged only when its emf is less than its maximum e.m.f


A device that provides an emf?

EMF (short for "electromotive force" - not a well-chosen name, since it isn't exactly a force) is more properly called a "voltage". A device that provides that can be a battery, or you can get the voltage from the outlets in your home.


When is the terminal potential difference of a battery greater than its emf?

When it is being loaded.


Explain the principle of null-method of measurement?

The null method is used in measuring the unknown EMF of batteries. The method is about using a potentiometer circuit with the battery of a known and then an unknown EMF connected to it one after the other and locating, in each case, the position of the 'null point'; the point on the potentiometer circuit where the current through the battery is zero.
