Electromotive Force (E.M.F.) or Cell Potential | Potential Difference |
---|---|
It is the potential difference between the two electrodes when no current is flowing in the circuit i.e., in an open circuit. | It is the difference of the electrode potentials of the two electrodes when the cell is sending current through the circuit. |
It transmits current both inside and outside the cell. | It transfers current between any two points in the circuit. |
E.m.f. is the cause. | Potential difference is the result. |
It is maximum voltage obtainable from the cell. | It is less than the maximum voltage obtainable from the cell (i.e., e.m.f. of the cell). |
The work calculated from e.m.f. is the maximum work obtainable from the cell. | The work calculated from potential difference is less than the maximum work obtainable from the cell. |
It is responsible for the flow of steady current in the cell. | It is not responsible for the flow of steady current in the cell. |
It does not depend on the resistance of the circuit. | Potential difference of two points depends on the resistance of those points. |
The part of the circuit where electrical energy is created from any other energy then that part contains the source of Electromotive force. | Potential difference exists in the part of the circuit where electrical potential energy is transformed into another form of energy. |

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Vs Ribonucleic Acid (RNA)
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) | Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) |
---|---|
It occurs mainly in the nucleus of the cell. | It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. |
It has double stranded α-helix structure in which two strands are coiled spirally in opposite directions. | It has single stranded α -helix structure. |
The sugar molecule is 2-deoxyribose. | The sugar molecule is ribose. |
Nitrogenous base uracil is not present. | Nitrogenous base thymine is not present. |
It has the unique property of replication. | It usually does not replicate. |
It is responsible for the transmission for heredity character. | It helps in protein biosynthesis. |
DNA molecules are very large, their molecular masses may vary from 6 X 106 – 16 X 106 u. | RNA molecules are much smaller with molecular mass ranging from 2 X 104 – 4 X 104 u. |

Data at Rest Vs Data in Motion
Data at Rest | Data in Motion |
---|---|
The data that is not actively moving from device to device or network to network such as data stored on a hard drive, laptop etc. is called data at rest. | The data which is actively moving from one location to another such as across the internet or through a private is called data in motion. |
It also refers to data that has been collected from various sources and is then analyzed after the event occurs. | This type of data is analyzed in real-time as the event happens. |
The point where the data is analyzed and the point where action is taken on it occur at two separate times. | Analysis and action on data is taken at same time. |
Batch processing method is used. | Real-time processing method is used. |
It is more secure. | It is less secure. |
It is less vulnerable to attack. | It is more vulnerable to attack. |
Simple file and folder protection techniques are used to protect the data. | Encryption protocols like HTTPS, SSL, FTPS are used to protect the data. |
