Electromotive force is actually not a force. What does it represent?

$n$ identical cells are joined in series,with two cells $A$ and $B$ in the loop having reversed polarities. The $EMF$ of each cell is $E$ and the internal resistance is $r$. The potential difference across cell $A$ or $B$ is (where $n > 4$):

Two cells of equal $e.m.f.$ $E$ and of internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ $(r_1 > r_2)$ are connected in series. Now they are connected to an external resistance $R$. It is observed that the potential difference across the first cell becomes zero. The value of $R$ will be:

Two cells with the same e.m.f. $E$ and different internal resistances $r_1$ and $r_2$ are connected in series to an external resistance $R$. The value of $R$ so that the potential difference across the first cell is zero is

An electric eel generates an electric current using biological cells called electroplaques. The eel has a total of $5000$ electroplaques arranged in $100$ rows. This arrangement is shown in the figure. Each electroplaque has an $emf$ of $0.15\ V$ and an internal resistance of $0.25\ \Omega$. The water surrounding the eel completes the circuit between its head and tail. If the resistance of the water is $500\ \Omega$,the electric current generated by the eel in the water is .......... $A$.

$A$ primary cell has an $e.m.f.$ of $1.5\,V$. When short-circuited,it gives a current of $3\,A$. The internal resistance of the cell is ............. $\Omega$.
