P.S.
I suspect that the term EMF was initially introduced as a
real force working on electric charges (to separate them
against Coulomb forces of attraction). Then somebody
redefined the word to stand for something that is not a
force. The name EMF now stands for the "no-load
difference of potentials," for example between Zn and
Cu. Why is this confusing terminology tolerated?
