what is the difference/similarity between emf and volts.
Here is a citation from Halliday and Resnick: electromotive force is the device which does work on the charge carriers maintains a potential difference between terminals. Voltage is the unit of measure for this seat. Mostly we think of EMF as a source or a means for driving current.
There is a good discussion here:

EMF (electromotive force) is measured in volts.
