emf e = current × resistor

Emf e = V + Ir where r is the internal resistance

Application

Electricity's extraordinary versatility means it can be put to an almost limitless set of applications which include transport, heating, lighting, communications, and computation.Electrical power is now the backbone of modern industrial society.
