That's the electromotive force.
It's the difference in potential between the ends of the wire.
Most people just call it the voltage.

Answer: The force that pushes charges through a wire is called Electromotive force.

Explanation :

Electromotive force or emf is a force that is developed by the battery or any other source. It is the same as the potential difference (V).

Also, the relation between V and I as per Ohm's law is, V = IR

R = resistance

We know that one volt is defined as the
1\ V=(1\ Joule)/(1\ coulomb).

This force is responsible for the current that is flowing in the circuit.

Hence, the correct option is (B)" electromotive force ".
