what is EMF (1 Viewer)

[red802]

Can someone tell me the definition of EMF and please make it sound simple

 

[speedie]

emf is electromotive force

its just the force thats created when u turn a generator, or the force used to turn a motor

im pretty sure thats what it is...

 

[Riviet]

EMF is basically the equivalent of the role of voltage or potential difference in an electrical circuit but in motors/generators.

 

[red802]

kool,
what does relative motion mean also,

 

[GaganDeep]

umm, it means it is moving with respect to it.

 

[red802]

also, can someone tell me what induced emf means

does it mean just the produce emf

 

[Rax]

Induced emf means that you are inducing an emf in something

Easiest way to think about it is simply moving a conductor through a magnetic field. You move it through electrons are pushed to one end creating a Potential difference between the ends , which is simply an EMF (electro motive force)
