Differential [1]
(1): ( n.) An increment, usually an indefinitely small one, which is given to a variable quantity.
(2): ( a.) Relating to or indicating a difference; creating a difference; discriminating; special; as, differential characteristics; differential duties; a differential rate.
(3): ( a.) Of or pertaining to a differential, or to differentials.
(4): ( a.) Relating to differences of motion or leverage; producing effects by such differences; said of mechanism.
(5): ( n.) A small difference in rates which competing railroad lines, in establishing a common tariff, allow one of their number to make, in order to get a fair share of the business. The lower rate is called a differential rate. Differentials are also sometimes granted to cities.
(6): ( n.) One of two coils of conducting wire so related to one another or to a magnet or armature common to both, that one coil produces polar action contrary to that of the other.
(7): ( n.) A form of conductor used for dividing and distributing the current to a series of electric lamps so as to maintain equal action in all.
