EMF(Electromotive Force) | Potential Difference (PD) |
EMF, electromotive force, refers to the voltage developed by an electrical source | Potential difference refers to the observed difference in voltage between any two points in an open circuit. |
Emf does not depend on the resistance of the circuit. | Pd of two points depends on the resistance of those points. |
Emf is cause. | PD is result. |
