the difference in potential energy between two points in an electric field; the difference in charge between two points in an electrical circuit; voltage

(physics) the region surrounding a local minimum of potential energy, especially if the potential has a constant value in an interval and a higher (finite or infinite) value outside of it

(cytology) The nearly latent membrane potential of inactive cells.

The temperature a parcel of air would have if brought adiabatically to a standard reference pressure

(biology) The difference in electrical potential across the enclosing membrane of a cell

plural of membrane potential

(fluid mechanics, of an inviscid irrotational flow) A scalar potential function relating to the flow’s velocity distribution, defined as 𝜙=∇⃑V

(physics, chemistry) The electrode potential with reference to that of a normal hydrogen electrode
