Wondering Why I Didn't Answer and Other Things?

The first thing on the agenda today is to apologize for not answering your comments back on my blog posted on April 8th of this year.  Forgive me for that and all of you who did comment, you can now go back and see my replies to your comments, which I just posted.  For quick reference, here is a link to that post:

I got wondering this morning, if I asked you what the difference is between EMF (electromotive force) and voltage, what would your answers be?


  Then I wondered what I would say the difference would be.  I guess I would say that EMF would be the highest figure because it represents the highest amount of potential that could possibly exist in a circuit and a voltage would be the reading of the actual potential between any two points in a circuit.  But what caused this potential?  More electrons in one part of a circuit than in another.  Mother Nature loves a balance in everything and is always trying to correct things to get to that balance.  That is why we get a current flow from high potential to low, she is trying to even things up.

Well now, I hope my blog posting this morning was not too shocking.  Just don't touch bare wires. . . and have a great day, you hear?

    EMF is the actual force, voltage is the measure of that force. ?

    AAS/EET from Purdue, wayyyy back in the day. Also looked it up on Wikipedia.

      Yep, EMF is the force and voltage is a measurement of that force.

    Hey... you're asking a person who doesn't know wattage from voltage from amperage from candle power.... I just want the darned light to turn on when I flip the switch, the car to turn over when I turn the key... and stuff like that.... I leave questions like this one to Bill who happens to be outside right now ;-)

      It is amazing all the things that I used to know and don't anymore. I guess that means I was a know-it-all and now I am a has-been.
