Solution
The electromotive force (EMF) of a galvanic cell is defined as the difference of electrical potential which causes the flow of current from one electrode to another when virtually no current is drawn from the cell.
According to the IUPAC convention, the EMF of a cell is given by:
\[\ce{E^{\circ}_{cell} = E^{\circ}_{cathode} - E^{\circ}_{anode}}\]
