What is the difference between EMF and Voltage?

Answer Posted / soumya

EMF is the potential difference between two electrodes when current does not even starts to flow. Once the circuit is closed, it can never be called EMF. The native potential difference between two electrodes then are called voltage. In general voltage is little low than EMF of a circuit.
