First thing, what is the difference between placing a voltmeter in a circuit when trying to measure e.m.f. and when trying to measure voltage?
Voltage, in my textbook, is defined as the difference in electrical potential energy between any 2 points in the circuit. HOWEVER, what is the electrical potential energy in the first place!? Is it the same thing as e.m.f.? If so, then how can both voltage and e.m.f. be measured with a voltmeter?
Also, when measuring resistance, which two points on the circuit do I take? The two points directly next to the component?
