The correct Answer is:
To determine the unit in which the electromotive force (E.M.F.) of a cell is expressed, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding E.M.F.**: - E.M.F. stands for electromotive force. It represents the potential difference between the terminals of a cell when no current is flowing. 2. **Identifying the Unit of Potential Difference**: - The unit of potential difference (voltage) is a fundamental concept in electricity. The standard unit for measuring potential difference is the Volt (V). 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The question provides several options: - Volt - Volt per meter - Volt meter - None of these - We need to identify which of these options correctly represents the unit of E.M.F. 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Volt**: This is the correct unit for measuring potential difference and, hence, E.M.F. - **Volt per meter**: This is a unit of electric field strength, not E.M.F. - **Volt meter**: This refers to an instrument used to measure voltage, not a unit of E.M.F. - **None of these**: This option is incorrect since we have already identified that E.M.F. is expressed in Volts. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the E.M.F. of a cell is expressed in **Volts**. ### Final Answer: The E.M.F. of a cell is expressed in **Volts**. ---
