The correct order of values with negative sign for the four successive elements is
It is the potential difference between the two terminals of the cell when no current is drawn from it. It is measured with the help of potentiometer or vacuum tube voltmeter.
Calculation of the EMF of the Cell
Mathematically, it may be expressed as
Difference between EMF and Cell Potential
