Lol, so if it's on Wikipedia it must be true and accurate. Nice. Hey, if it's on the Internet then it must be true.

I think it is reckless. A lot of young up and coming engineers perhaps use sparkfun for their high school electronics work might read this and come away with incorrect understanding of things making new material confusing or longer to understand.

You think what's reckless? The guy who wrote the article has a degree in Electrical Engineering and the article's great.

EMF is not a force and it's not the only thing the word electricity refers to. I've just checked a physics and an electrical engineering textbook and neither refer to electricity or EMF the way you are. I honestly don't know where you're getting these ideas.

In physics there is a fundamental force sosmetimes called The Electromagnetic Force, and in a sense it does describe all of electricity, but it's not the same thing as The Electromotive Force.
