Question

How EMF is measured?


Open in App
Solution

EMF:

  1. The EMF can be expressed in terms of the battery's internal resistance (r), ε=Ir+R.
  2. We can then rearrange this in terms of terminal resistance using Ohm's law: ε=V+Ir
  3. For various resistances, the EMF of the cell can be determined by measuring the voltage across the cell with a voltmeter and the current in the circuit with an ammeter.
