when is terminal pd greater than emf ?
Terminal PD, or terminal potential difference, refers to the difference in electrical potential between the positive and negative terminals of a circuit.
EMF, or electromotive force, is the force that causes electric charges to move in a circuit. It is often measured in volts.
To determine when PD is greater in a circuit, you must compare the magnitude of the EMF and the terminal PD. If the EMF is greater, then the PD will be greater. However, if the resistance of the circuit is high, the PD may decrease and become less than the EMF.
The relationship between Terminal PD and EMF is affected by the resistance of the circuit, the type of materials used in the circuit, and the amount of current flowing through the circuit. Additionally, the presence of other components such as capacitors or inductors can also affect this relationship.
Understanding the difference between Terminal PD and EMF is important in order to properly analyze and design electrical circuits. It allows us to accurately predict the behavior of the circuit and make informed decisions about component selection and circuit optimization.
