potential for

Definition of potential for in English English dictionary
potential: Being potent; endowed with energy adequate to a result; efficacious; influential
potential: Currently unfulfilled capacity to improve, develop, and achieve impressive feats
Even from a young age it was clear that she had great musical potential.
potential: 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: Referring to a verbal construction of form stating something is possible or probable
potential: 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: Anything that may be possible; a possibility; potentiality
potential: anything that may be possible
potential: the difference in electrical charge between two points in a circuit expressed in volts
potential: 1) Electrically, the voltage at a point relative to some reference point 2) The degree of electrification at a point in an electric field
potential: 1 A function of space, the gradient of which is equal to a force In symbols, F = -φ, where F is the force; is the del-operator; and φ is the potential A force which may be so expressed is said to be conservative, and the work done against it in motion from one given equipotential surface to another is independent of the path of the motion See Gibbs function, potential energy
potential: A verbal construction or form stating something is possible or probable
potential: existing in possibility; "a potential problem"; "possible uses of nuclear power"
potential: Something that can develop of happen successfully in your behalf
potential: Potential difference at an electrode-solution interface defined with the reference to another specified electrode See Reference electrode [back] [top]
potential: The total target audience i e the maximum number of people in a demographic Can be sub-classified by (i) demography - age, sex, income etc (ii) psychography - lifestyle, culture, social class, (iii) geography - place of residence etc
potential: Existing in possibility, not in actuality
potential: possibility
potential: 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
potential: {s} possible, capable of becoming, able to be
potential: Anything that may be possible; a possibility; potentially
potential: A measure of the driving force behind an electrochemical reaction that is reported in units of volts
potential: possible but not yet in existence
potential: The difference in voltage between two points of an electrical circuit
potential: Two stones of the same color with an empty point between them and no enemy stones at either end This formation has the potential to become a stronger formation and is safer than a pair
potential: Currently unfulfilled capacity to improve, develop, and achieve impressive feats. E.g.: "even from a young age it was clear that she had great musical potential"
potential: the inherent capacity for coming into being
potential: the difference produced by an imbalance in the charge distribution that causes the movement of charge carriers in a conductor Also called voltage
potential: If you say that someone or something has potential, you mean that they have the necessary abilities or qualities to become successful or useful in the future. The school strives to treat pupils as individuals and to help each one to achieve their full potential Denmark recognised the potential of wind energy early
potential: You use potential to say that someone or something is capable of developing into the particular kind of person or thing mentioned. The firm has identified 60 potential customers at home and abroad We are aware of the potential problems and have taken every precaution. = possible + potentially po·ten·tial·ly Clearly this is a potentially dangerous situation
potential: 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: expected to become or be; in prospect; "potential clients"; "expected income"
potential: If you say that someone or something has potential for doing a particular thing, you mean that it is possible they may do it. If there is the potential for something, it may happen. John seemed as horrified as I about his potential for violence The meeting has the potential to be a watershed event. likely to develop into a particular type of person or thing in the future = possible potential customer/buyer/client (potentialis, from potentia , from potere; POTENT). action potential electric potential ionization potential potential energy
potential: {i} possibility; ability; capability of being; possible energy (Electricity)
potential: the inherent capacity for coming into being existing in possibility; "a potential problem"; "possible uses of nuclear power
