EMF

Charged particle surroundings

EMF stands for electromotive force—the voltage generated by a battery or other power source that drives current through a circuit.

Despite the name, it's measured in volts, not force units.

EMF also refers to electromagnetic fields, the invisible fields produced by electrical devices and wireless signals.

In alternative health circles, EMF often appears in discussions about radiation from cell phones and power lines.
