| electromotive force |
Electromotive force (emf) is a measure of the strength of a source of electrical energy. The unit of emf is the volt (energy per unit electric charge) and so the term 'force' is misleading. Thus, the expansion of the acronym is considered obsolete or at best, an embarrassing historical artifact. (The term is attributed to Alessandro Volta.). ...

| electromotive force |
The potential difference between the two electrodes in a cell. The cell emf is the cell voltage measured when no current is flowing through the cell. It can be measured by means of a pH meter with high input impedance.
