The period of time during which a material with multiple ingredients can be applied or administered after being mixed together.
Potable
Water suitable for drinking.
Potential difference
Force which makes an electrical current flow. Voltage.
Potential energy efficiency
Energy available due to position.
Potential gross income
The amount of income that could be produced by the sale or rental of property or rendering of services.
Potential hydrogen (ph)
A scientific measure of acidity and alkalinity. Basically, pH is a measure of the amount of lime (calcium) contained in your soil. A soil with a pH lower than 7.0 is an acid soil, a soil pH higher than 7.0 is alkaline soil. Soil pH can be tested with an inexpensive test kit obtained at your local garden center.
Potentially responsible parties (prp)
Referring to a Superfund site, all owners, operators, transporters and disposers of hazardous waste are potentially responsible parties.
Potentiometer
An adjustable resistor used to vary the sensing distance of the touchless faucet.
Potentiometer or pot
Variable resistor, used for controls such as volume, which divides voltage so that it is proportional to its resistance. One form can be a slider that can move over fixed contact to vary the resistance, with one extreme being maximum resistance and no electricity flow and the other extreme having no added resistance and electricity flow at the maximum for the circuit where the potentiometer is situated.
Potpourri
A mixture of sweet smelling leaves, petals, blooms to create a perfume in a room. Tussie.
