Definition that contains electromotive
- h a unit of inductance in which an induced electromotive force of one volt is produced when the current is varied at the rate of one ampere per second
- henry a unit of inductance in which an induced electromotive force of one volt is produced when the current is varied at the rate of one ampere per second
- induction an electrical phenomenon whereby an electromotive force (EMF) is generated in a closed circuit by a change in the flow of current
- coefficient of self induction the ratio of the electromotive force produced in a circuit by self-induction to the rate of change of current producing it, expressed in henries
- mutual inductance a measure of the induction between two circuits; the ratio of the electromotive force in a circuit to the corresponding change of current in a neighboring circuit; usually measured in henries
- potentiometer a measuring instrument for measuring direct current electromotive forces
- voltaic cell an electric cell that generates an electromotive force by an irreversible conversion of chemical to electrical energy; cannot be recharged
- clark cell a form of voltaic cell once used as a standard for electromotive force
- galvanic cell an electric cell that generates an electromotive force by an irreversible conversion of chemical to electrical energy; cannot be recharged
- mutual induction generation of electromotive forces in each other by two adjacent circuits
