What does «fuerza electromotriz» mean in Spanish?
- Electrical action produced by a non-electrical source. It is measured in volts. Abbreviated e.m.f. A device that converts other forms of energy into electrical energy (a "transducer"), such as a battery (which converts chemical energy) or a generator (which converts mechanical energy), provides electromotive force as its output. An analogy to water "pressure" is sometimes used to describe electromotive force (the word "force" in this case is not used to refer to the force of interaction between bodies, which can be measured in pounds or newtons).
