A condition of balance between forces, or competing processes, such as emission and absorption of radiation.

A state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.

A state of rest or balance.

A balanced state of constant change in a system. Chemical equilibrium refers to the state in a reversible reaction when the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backwards reaction.

A stable situation in which products and reactants are balanced.

latin: (thermodynamic) balance

A price region that suggests a balance between demand and supply for an currency pair in the marketplace.

a state of balance in a system where opposing forces or fluxes balance

Dynamic equilibrium is established when two opposing forces are occuring at the same rate, so there is no apparent change in the system over long periods of time.

a state of balance that exists between two opposing forces or divergent forms of influence.

An object that is balanced is said to be in equilibrium. Back to top of the page

A state of balance between opposing forces or actions that is either static (as in a body acted on by forces whose resultant is zero) or dynamic (as in a reversible chemical reaction when the velocities in both directions are equal).

A body's ability to maintain physical balance by using vestibular, visual and proprioceptive (sense of touch) input.

(Translational) Condition in which the net force on an object is zero. (Rotational) Condition in which the net torque on an object is zero.

A state of dynamic balance in which the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal; the state of a system when neither forward or reverse reaction is thermodynamically favored.

In chemistry, a condition in which reversible chemical reactions are taking place at the same time in such a manner (equivalent rate) that there is no change in the net concentration of the substances involved in the chemical processes. As a result of these simultaneous reactions, the substances involved in the reactions can be shown to be in a constant ratio to each other.

State of balance or equality between opposing forces where they remain in check.

The state in which the action of multiple forces produce a steady balance or seeming lack of change.

The stable state of the system. See: Attractor.

a point towards which a system tends to move or a point which, once reached, tends to be stable

a stable unchanging ratio of components because that ratio is the maximal entropy for the particular system

The tendency of a system to settle down to a steady state that isn't easily disturbed, an attractor. Traditionally, equilibrium systems in physics have no energy input and maximise entropy, usually involving an ergodic attractor, but dissipative systems maintain steady states far-from-equilibrium (also non-equilibrium).

A diagram constructed from thermal and other data showing the limits of composition and temperature within which the various constituents or phases of alloys are stable.

A state at which there is no change in the genetic constitution of a population. An equilibrium may be stable, unstable, or neutral.

A system is in equilibrium when its macroscopic properties (temperature, pressure) are uniform and not changing with time.

The state of a system whose motion is not being changed, accelerated, or decelerated.

A condition where all of the thermal changes in a system have stabilized. To observe true heat flow characteristics, a gradient must be developed across an object or interface and allowed to stabilize - this is a thermal equilibrium.

A situation in which there is no tendency for change. For example, an equilibrium price is a price that can be maintained.

A price level in a sideways market equal-distance from the resistance and support levels.

In a market, equilibrium is the point at which the quantity supplied of a good or service equals the quantity demanded. Markets tend to move toward equilibrium as a consequence of the fact that people seek to satisfy their desires with the least exertion. Equilibrium is a characteristic of any kind of market, whether individual or aggregate.

The amount of output supplied equals the amount demanded. At equilibrium, the market has neither a tendency to rise nor fall but clears at the existing price.

Equilibrium means "at rest" -- a state or outcome for which there is no tendency for the system to deviate. The term equilibrium is used in many ways in economics. Market equilibrium is the price-quantity combination in a market from which there is no tendency for buyers or sellers to move away. Graphically, market equilibrium is the intersection point of the supply curve and the demand curve. At market equilibrium, there is a price at which quantity demanded is exactly equal to quantity supplied; therefore, there is neither a shortage nor surplus. Consumer equilibrium is the condition where the consumer is consuming their utility-maximizing bundle of products, given their budget constraint and the prices paid for the products. At this point, there is no motivation for the consumer to change his or her consumption of products. This occurs where the marginal utility per dollar spent on each product equal for all products purchased.

The condition that exists when fishing pressure remains constant over time.
