a.
Existing in possibility, not in actuality.
n.
The potential principle, or force, by which the organs of animals and plants are started and continued in the performance of their several and cooperative functions; the vital force, whether regarded as physical or spiritual.
n.
An instrument for measuring in volts the differences of potential between different points of an electrical circuit.
a.
The quality in consequence of which an electric charge tends to discharge itself, as into the air by a spark, or to pass from a body of greater to one of less electrical potential. It varies as the quantity of electricity upon a given area.
n.
The standard unit in the measure of electrical resistance, being the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere. As defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893, and by United States Statute, it is a resistance substantially equal to 109 units of resistance of the C.G.S. system of electro-magnetic units, and is represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current by a column of mercury at the temperature of melting ice 14.4521 grams in mass, of a constant cross-sectional area, and of the length of 106.3 centimeters. As thus defined it is called the international ohm.
a.
Having the power of acting or of invisible efficacy without the agency of the material or sensible part; potential; energizing.
n.
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.
a.
Being potent; endowed with energy adequate to a result; efficacious; influential.
n.
An actuality; a conception completely actualized, in distinction from mere potential existence.
adv.
With power; potently.
adv.
In a potential manner; possibly, not positively.
n.
Electric potential or potential difference, expressed in volts.
a.
Existing in act or reality; really acted or acting; in fact; real; -- opposed to potential, possible, virtual, speculative, conceivable, theoretical, or nominal; as, the actual cost of goods; the actual case under discussion.
n.
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.
n.
Anything that may be possible; a possibility; potentially.
n.
Figuratively: The potential or animating principle, also, the period of duration, of anything that is conceived of as resembling a natural organism in structure or functions; as, the life of a state, a machine, or a book; authority is the life of government.

n.
The quality or state of being potential; possibility, not actuality; inherent capability or disposition, not actually exhibited.
n.
An instrument for measuring or comparing electrial potentials or electro-motive forces.
