Homework Statement

What of the following is measured by the energy dissipated when a cell drives a unit charge round a complete circuit?

A- Resistance
B- Power
C- Potential Difference
D- e.m.f

The Attempt at a Solution

e.m.f is energy converted from non-electrical to electrical form when 1 C of positive charge pass through a cell.

P.d is the energy converted from electical to other forms when 1 C of positive charge passes between 2 points.
