Distinguish induced emf and a generated emf?
EMF= Voltage When and electron travels through a conductor it creates a ripple in space, just like a boat creates one in water. GeneratedThe speed or force at which the boat is moving is the voltage...
What is the unit of emf?

What is emf in physics?
emf is the electromotive force and is used as another word for voltage generated by a battery or by the magnetic force according to Faraday's law
What is EMF used for?
assuming you mean electromotive force:emf is the main principle behind power transformers. emf also comes in the form of radio waves, which are used for radio transmission (obviously)
What does e.m.f stand for?
EMF = ElectroMotive Force - a source of energy that can cause a current to flow in an electrical circuit. The rate at which energy is drawn from the source is measured in Volts.
