Electromotive force: Volta’s forgotten concept

摘要: The concept of electromotive force as first presented by Volta seems to be all but forgotten. Introduction the term often occurs without any definition at and is confused with electrostatic potential difference. When a formal given it usually neither in accord Volta’s original idea nor conceptually useful or comprehensible. We emphasize use describe nonelectrostatic action on charges. relationship emf’s differences through introduction fields (as was described Abraham 1904). A failure note distinction between these types electric mars some highly important works including J. C. Maxwell’s.
