please elaborate the difference between emf and voltage.

EMF stands for electromotive force, and it is the potential difference or voltage generated by a source such as a battery or power supply.
Voltage is a measure of the potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is also the unit used to measure EMF.
The main difference is that EMF is the voltage produced by a source, while voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit.
No, they are not interchangeable. EMF is a specific type of voltage, while voltage can refer to any potential difference in an electric circuit.
EMF and voltage both play a role in determining the flow of electric current. EMF is the driving force that causes current to flow, while voltage is the measure of the potential difference that allows current to flow.
