WHAT DOES ELECTROMOTIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

electromotive

Electromotive force

Electromotive force, also called emf, is the voltage developed by any source of electrical energy such as a battery or dynamo. The word "force" in this case is not used to mean mechanical force, measured in newtons, but a potential, or energy per unit of charge, measured in volts. In electromagnetic induction, emf can be defined around a closed loop as the electromagnetic work that would be transferred to a unit of charge if it travels once around that loop. For a time-varying magnetic flux impinging a loop, the electric potential scalar field is not defined due to circulating electric vector field, but nevertheless an emf does work that can be measured as a virtual electric potential around that loop. In a two-terminal device, the emf can be measured as the open-circuit potential difference across the two terminals. The potential difference thus created drives current flow if an external circuit is attached to the source of emf. When current flows, however, the potential difference across the terminals is no longer equal to the emf, but will be smaller because of the voltage drop within the device due to its internal resistance.

Definition of electromotive in the English dictionary

The definition of electromotive in the dictionary is of, concerned with, producing, or tending to produce an electric current.
