electromotive
Produces electrical pressure
Electromotive describes something that produces or tends to produce an electric current.
The term appears most often in the phrase electromotive force, which despite its name is not actually a force but rather a measure of the energy supplied by a source like a battery or generator to move electric charge through a circuit.
Scientists and engineers use electromotive to distinguish the energy-supplying aspect of electrical sources from the resistance or other effects in a circuit.
