Definitions of electromotive force
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
