La force électromotrice d'un générateur n'est rien d'autre que la différence de potentiel à ses bornes lorsqu'il ne débite aucun courant. En mettant la sortie du générateur en opposition avec une différence de potentiel réglable et connue (Vcb), la force électromotrice peut être déterminée. 5, record 2, French, - force%20%C3%A9lectromotrice
