...superficial analogy to water pressure. The unit of electromotive force (EMF) is the Volt. It is the EMF which will cause a current of one ampere to flow through a resistance of one ohm. The EMF of a battery depends upon the materials employed, and Li entirely independent of the size and shape of the...
