electromotive force
/ɪ,lɛktrə'moʊtɪv_foʊrs/
Definition that contains electromotive force
- 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
- mutual induction generation of electromotive forces in each other by two adjacent circuits
- galvanic cell an electric cell that generates an electromotive force by an irreversible conversion of chemical to electrical energy; cannot be recharged
- self-inductance 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
- clark standard cell a form of voltaic cell once used as a standard for electromotive force
- inductance an electrical phenomenon whereby an electromotive force (EMF) is generated in a closed circuit by a change in the flow of current
- primary cell an electric cell that generates an electromotive force by an irreversible conversion of chemical to electrical energy; cannot be recharged
- self-induction generation of an electromotive force (EMF) in a circuit by changing the current in that circuit; usually measured in henries
