Potential energy, the energy possessed by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors
Electric potential, the amount of work needed to move a unit positive charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the field without producing any acceleration
Action potential, occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise
Membrane potential, the difference in electric potential between the interior and the exterior of a biological cell. With respect to the exterior of the cell, typical values of membrane potential range from –40 mV to –80 mV
Water potential, the potential energy of water per unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions
