Question

is the electromotive force of a cell a kind of force or something else ?

Solution

No, it is not a force. Electromotive force is the potential difference across the two terminals of a voltage source when it is not connected to any circuit. Once it is connected to a circuit, the voltage reduces slightly because of the internal resistance of the voltage source.
