emf is present mainly in battery and potential difference is mainly present in circuit.
emf is greater than p.d and p.d is greater than emf.......the units of both are Volt.....

Potential difference is the difference in electric potential energy between two points in a circuit, while electromotive force (emf) is the total energy provided per unit charge by a battery or voltage source. In other words, potential difference measures the voltage drop across a component in a circuit, while emf represents the energy per unit charge supplied by the source.
The relationship between EMF (electromotive force) and potential difference in an electrical circuit is that EMF is the total energy supplied by a source, while potential difference is the energy transferred per unit charge as it moves through the circuit. In simpler terms, EMF is the total push provided by the power source, while potential difference is the push experienced by the charges as they flow through the circuit.
Yes, the potential difference across a battery can be greater than its EMF when the battery is connected in a circuit and current is flowing through it. This can happen due to internal resistance within the battery that causes a voltage drop.
No, the terminal potential difference cannot be greater than the emf supplied. The emf represents the maximum potential difference that the cell or battery can provide, while the terminal potential difference is the actual potential difference across the terminals when a load is connected.
Electrical potential refers to the electric potential energy per unit charge at a point in an electric field, measured in volts. Electromotive force (emf) is the energy per unit charge supplied by a source of electrical energy, such as a battery, to drive current through a circuit, also measured in volts. Essentially, electrical potential is a property of a point in the field, while emf is the force that drives the flow of charge.
Yes, potential difference across a cell is typically less than the electromotive force (emf) of the cell due to internal resistance and other factors affecting the flow of electric current. The emf represents the maximum voltage a cell can provide, while the potential difference takes into account the voltage drop caused by these internal resistances.
