Hai - I am revising and now I am confused - equations for both electromotive force (emf) and energy begin E=... (in different sections of my electricity notes)

Does that mean EMF is a type of energy or am I missing something?

Thanks :)

Hi mushroom993! Welcome to PF! :smile:

It's just a coincidence … they both happen to begin with the letter "E". :biggrin:

(partly for that reason, some books use a curly E for emf)
