When the gas in a balloon is heated, the balloon expands. what are the correct signs of heat and work for this change?
a. +q, -w
b. -q, +w
c. +q, +w
d. -q, -w

things that could :

w=work q= heat

q= heat work
+ heat absorbed + work done by
- heat released - work done on

Iagree c would be the answer

stands for electromotive force and it is measured in volts. despite its name, it is not actually the force in the sense of being a "pushing" or "pulling" (not measured in newtons).an equation that relates emf,  ℰ,  to a battery's terminal voltage, v, current, i, and internal resistance, r, is    ℰ = v + irin this case, the emf can be interpreted as a voltage—a difference in electric potential.i would not say that it would be considered an energy. if emf can be defined as the energy/work per a unit charge from a battery or other electric source, then it is not strictly energy.
