  2. Electromotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromotive_force

    For a circuit using a battery source, the emf is due solely to the chemical forces in the battery. For a circuit using an electric generator, the emf is due solely to a time-varying magnetic forces within the generator. Both a 1 volt emf and a 1 volt potential difference correspond to 1 joule per coulomb of charge.

  3. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Therefore, emf is expressed as = (+) where is emf and v is the unit charge velocity. In a macroscopic view, for charges on a segment of the loop, v consists of two components in average; one is the velocity of the charge along the segment v t , and the other is the velocity of the segment v l (the loop is deformed or moved).

  4. 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.

  5. Internal resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_resistance

    In practice, the internal resistance of a battery is dependent on its size, state of charge, chemical properties, age, temperature, and the discharge current. It has an electronic component due to the resistivity of the component materials and an ionic component due to electrochemical factors such as electrolyte conductivity , ion mobility ...

  6. Standard electrode potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_electrode_potential

    Bipolar electrochemistry scheme. In electrochemistry, standard electrode potential, or , is a measure of the reducing power of any element or compound.The IUPAC "Gold Book" defines it as; "the value of the standard emf (electromotive force) of a cell in which molecular hydrogen under standard pressure is oxidized to solvated protons at the left-hand electrode".

  7. Inductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductance

    The magnetic field strength depends on the magnitude of the electric current, and therefore follows any changes in the magnitude of the current. From Faraday's law of induction, any change in magnetic field through a circuit induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the conductors, a process known as electromagnetic induction. This induced ...

  8. Electric battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_battery

    An electric battery is a source of electric power consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections [1] for powering electrical devices. When a battery is supplying power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode. [2] The terminal marked negative is the source of electrons.

  9. Maximum power transfer theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_transfer_theorem

    Simplified model for powering a load with resistance R L by a source with voltage V S and resistance R S.. The theorem was originally misunderstood (notably by Joule [4]) to imply that a system consisting of an electric motor driven by a battery could not be more than 50% efficient, since the power dissipated as heat in the battery would always be equal to the power delivered to the motor when ...
