electromotive force

As long as all the grid-connected generators are balanced with the power demand on the grid, the torque applied by the turbine is precisely balanced by the electromotive force in the coils.

The watt is the work per second done by an electromotive force of 1 volt in driving a current of 1 ampere, and is equal to 10 million ergs or 1 joule per second.

The temperature of maximum electromotive force was found to be independent of the temperature of the colder junction.

As this time is greater than half the period, it occurs that an opposing electromotive force begins to act while the current is still flowing.

Whatever sets up the electric disturbance, whether it be the action of sulphuric acid on zinc, or caustic potash on iron, etc., is called electromotive force, generally abbreviated E.M.F.
