Potential vs. Performance

Potentialnoun

Currently unrealized ability (with the most common adposition being to)

Potentialnoun

(physics) The gravitational potential: the radial (irrotational, static) component of a gravitational field, also known as the Newtonian potential or the gravitoelectric field.

Potentialnoun

(physics) The work (energy) required to move a reference particle from a reference location to a specified location in the presence of a force field, for example to bring a unit positive electric charge from an infinite distance to a specified point against an electric field.

Potentialnoun

(grammar) A verbal construction or form stating something is possible or probable.

Potentialadjective

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

Potentialadjective

Existing in possibility, not in actuality.

Potentialnoun

Anything that may be possible; a possibility; potentially.

Potentialnoun

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 coördinates 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.

Potentialnoun

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.

Potentialnoun

the inherent capacity for coming into being

Potentialnoun

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

Potentialadjective

existing in possibility;

Potentialadjective

expected to become or be; in prospect;

Potential

Potential generally refers to a currently unrealized ability. The term is used in a wide variety of fields, from physics to the social sciences to indicate things that are in a state where they are able to change in ways ranging from the simple release of energy by objects to the realization of abilities in people.
