wheels 543 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 *sigh* That would be Electro "Magnetic" Force No not what I was meaning at all. I think I see the problem. We are both talking the same thing, I think. I had taken your original comment to mean "the conversion of a mechanical force to electrical force". Which is not technically correct. What I failed to understand (I think) was that you meant the production of an electrical current from a non electrical source. It does not have to be mechanical as such. For instance, it could be a Solar panel. But it also can simply be energy flowing in a circuit, which is where I believe Luigi is coming from and as I am from an electronics background, it is where I am coming from. electromotive force Abbr. EMF American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition The energy per unit charge that is converted reversibly from chemical, mechanical, or other forms of energy into electrical energy in a battery or dynamo. (General Physics) a. a source of energy that can cause a current to flow in an electrical circuit or device b. the rate at which energy is drawn from this source when unit current flows through the circuit or device, measured in volts. Abbreviation: emf or EMF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
