Potential ¹

Definition: Being potent; endowed with energy adequate to a result; efficacious; influential.

Potential ²

Definition: Existing in possibility, not in actuality.

Potential ³

Definition: Anything that may be possible; a possibility; potentially.

Potential ⁴

Definition: In the theory of gravitation, or of other forces acting in space, a function of the rectangular coordinates which determine the position of a point, such that its differential coefficients with respect to the coordinates are equal to the components of the force at the point considered; also called potential function, or force function. It is called also Newtonian potential when the force is directed to a fixed center and is inversely as the square of the distance from the center.

Potential ⁵

Definition: The energy of an electrical charge measured by its power to do work; hence, the degree of electrification as referred to some standard, as that of the earth; electro-motive force.

potential ⁶

Definition: the difference in electrical charge between two points in a circuit expressed in volts

potential ⁷

Definition: the inherent capacity for coming into being

potential ⁸

Definition: existing in possibility; "a potential problem"; "possible uses of nuclear power"

potential ⁹

Definition: expected to become or be; in prospect; "potential clients"; "expected income"
