उत्तर
Electromotive force or e.m.f. of a cell is potential difference between its two electrodes when it is in open circuit, i.e., not sending current in the external circuit; while potential difference is the difference in potential between the terminals when the cell is in closed circuit or it is sending current in the given circuits, e.m.f. is always greater than potential difference or terminal voltage of a cell on account of energy being spent in driving charge through the circuit.
