 | | An electromotive force is the "force", measured in volts, that is produced by interaction between a current and a magnetic field, at least one of which is changing. |
 | | An electromotive force (emf) is the "force", measured in volts, that is produced by interaction between a current and a magnetic field, at least one of which is changing. |
 | | Since the word "force" now has a very specific meaning in physics, and an emf is not a force in this sense, the expansion of the acronym is considered obsolete; or at best, an embarrassing historical artifact. |
