This cell contains chemicals that push electrons around a circuit. The ability to push electrons around a circuit is called the ELECTRO-MOTIVE FORCE or EMF. Yes it gets electrons in motion, but no it's not really a force. It's actually a potential (energy) and is measured in JOULES PER COULOMB (of charge). You'd know it better as VOLTAGE measured in VOLTS. Volts and Joules per Coulomb are the same thing. EMF isn't just any old voltage: In this case, EMF is the amount of chemical energy that is charged into electrical energy for one Coulomb of charge.
