1. adjective : Having or showing the capacity to develop into something in the future. "a campaign to woo potential customers" 2. noun : Latent qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead to future success or usefulness. "a young broadcaster with great potential" 3. PHYSICS : the quantity determining the energy of mass in a gravitational field or of charge in an electric field. 4. Electricity : The difference of electrical potential between two points. Potential difference between two points in a circuit is the work done in moving unit charge (i.e. one coulomb) from one point to the other. The units for potential difference are Joules per coulomb, or volts. (1 volt = 1 Joule/coulomb). read less
