What is the difference between emf.&pot. Diff.?

Answer Posted / sai prasanna

EMF is the difference in potential between the two terminals
of the cell when the circuit is open and it does not depend
on the external resistance of the circuit where as the
potential difference is defined as the difference in
potential between the two ends of the cell when the circuit
is closed and it depends on the resistance of the circuit.
