potential

• the difference in electrical charge between two points in a circuit expressed in volts
• expected to become or be
• existing in possibility
• the inherent capacity for coming into being
• Being potent
• Existing in possibility, not in actuality
• Anything that may be possible
• 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
• The energy of an electrical charge measured by its power to do work
