- An
action potential occurs when the
membrane potential of a
specific cell
rapidly rises and falls. This
depolarization then
causes adjacent locations to...
- The
electric potential (also
called the
electric field potential,
potential drop, the
electrostatic potential) is

- In physics,
potential energy is the
energy held by an
object because of its
position relative to
other objects,
stresses within itself, its
electric charge...
- In thermodynamics, the
chemical potential of a
species is the
energy that can be
absorbed or
released due to a
change of the
particle number of the given...
- A
potential superpower is a
state or
other polity that is
speculated to be—or to have the
