  2. Electromotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromotive_force

    In electromagnetism and electronics, electromotive force (also electromotance, abbreviated emf, [1] [2] denoted ) is an energy transfer to an electric circuit per unit of electric charge, measured in volts. Devices called electrical transducers provide an emf [3] by converting other forms of energy into electrical energy. [3]

  3. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    The emf generated by Faraday's law of induction due to relative movement of a circuit and a magnetic field is the phenomenon underlying electrical generators. When a permanent magnet is moved relative to a conductor, or vice versa, an electromotive force is created.

  4. Extremely low frequency - Wikipedia

    However, during the time that ELF was in use, some Wisconsin politicians, such as Democratic Senators Herb Kohl, Russ Feingold and Congressman Dave Obey, continued to call for its closure. Extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs), typically ranging from 0.3 Hz to 300 Hz, have various ecological impacts on both flora and fauna ...

    Construction management (CM) aims to control the quality of a construction project's scope, time, and cost (sometimes referred to as a project management triangle or

  7. Counter-electromotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-electromotive_force

    That is, the back-EMF is also due to inductance and Faraday's law, but occurs even when the motor current is not changing, and arises from the geometric considerations of an armature spinning in a magnetic field. This voltage is in series with and opposes the original applied voltage and is called "back-electromotive force" (by Lenz's law).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Construction_methods

    The list of construction methods covers the processes and techniques used in the construction process. The construction method is essential for civil engineers; utilizing it appropriately can help to achieve the desired results. The term building refers to the creation of physical structures such as buildings, bridges or railways. One of the ...

  9. Weston cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston_cell

    The original design was a saturated cadmium cell producing a 1.018 638 V reference and had the advantage of having a lower temperature coefficient than the previously used Clark cell. [ 1 ] One of the great advantages of the Weston normal cell is its small change of electromotive force with change of temperature.
