How to Evaluate Reference EMF?

Reference EMF evaluator uses Reference EMF = Indicator EMF+Junction EMF-Cell Potential in Potentiometry to evaluate the Reference EMF, The Reference EMF formula is defined as one of the important concepts that help us understand the process of electromagnetism. The electromotive force is abbreviated as the EMF and it is closely associated with the more common concept of voltage. The electromotive force is the total energy provided by a battery or a cell per coulomb q of charge crossing through it. Reference EMF is denoted by Er symbol.

How to evaluate Reference EMF using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Reference EMF, enter Indicator EMF (Ei), Junction EMF (Ej) & Cell Potential in Potentiometry (Ecell) and hit the calculate button.
