FAQ

What is the Back EMF?
Back EMF is a voltage that is generated in a motor or generator due to the motion of the armature or rotor. It is called "back" EMF as its polarity opposes the voltage applied. Back EMF is usually measured using the Volt for Electric Potential. Note that the value of Back EMF is always negative.
Can the Back EMF be negative?
Yes, the Back EMF, measured in Electric Potential can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Back EMF?
Back EMF is usually measured using the Volt[V] for Electric Potential. Millivolt[V], Microvolt[V], Nanovolt[V] are the few other units in which Back EMF can be measured.
