   Answer – Potential difference
   emf generated (or potential difference) is given by
   E = EReduction + Eoxidation
   where
   EReduction is expressed as reduction potential
   Eoxidation is expressed as oxidation potential
   E = EReduction – Eoxidation (when both ERed and Eox are expressed as reduction potentials)

   Oxidation potential – The potential at which a species loses an electron
   M —–> M+ + e-

   Reduction potential – The potential at which a species gains an electron
   M + e- ——> M-

   Electrolysis – e.g water on electrolysis breaks up into hydrogen and oxygen.
