Yes.
It is denoted by sC and represents a vector in the same direction as C but s times as big.

Name scalar fields and vector fields?
name as many scalar fields and vector fields as u can?
Is current a scalar or vector quantity?
It depends upon the condition.But basically, to be a vector, the physical quantities needs to follow vector algebra.but current dos not follow it so it is scalar quantity.
What is the difference between vector and scalar quantities?
Vector quantity is a quantity characterized by magnitude and direction.Whereas,Scalar quantity is a quantity that does not depend on direction.
Are the magnetic field vector- or scalar fields?
Both, E=Es + Ev = cB therefore, B= Es/c + Ev/c = Bs + Bv. The electric and magnetic fields are quaternion fields consisting of a scalar field and a vector field. Contemporary Physics has not realized this yet. Correct Relativity Theory is a manifestation of quaternion fields, consisting of a scalar field and three vector fields. This shows up in the Energy Momentum four vector, E= Es +cmV. Actually the Lorentz Force is both scalar and vector: F=qvB = - qv.B + qvxB it makes no sense consider only qvxB and to ignore qv.B.
Why is electric current a scalar quantity?
For a physical quantity to be termed a vector quantity, having magnitude and direction is not enough. The quantity should obey the laws of vector addition too. Like the triangle law or the parallelogram law. As we know, if two currents meet at a junction, the total current of the resultant current will be the algebraic sum of the two current and not the vector sum.Sometimes, treating a current like a vector makes sense, like when the current though a conductor induces a magnetic field.
Can you multiply a vector C by a scalar s if so describe the result?
answer is 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 there is no ten because ten is not a prime number.
How will you multiply a vector by positive number?
A positive scalar multiplied by a vector, will only change the vector's magnitude, not the direction. A negative scalar multiplied by the vector will reverse the direction by 180°.
Is momentum a vector?
Momentum is a vector quantity because the definition of momentum is that it is an object's mass multiplied by velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that has direction and the mass is scalar. When you multiply a vector by a scalar, it will result in a vector quantity.
What is the product of two vector quantities?
It depends on the type of product used. A dot or scalar product of two vectors will result in a scalar. A cross or vector product of two vectors will result in a vector.
Is it scalar or vector when a car stops at a stop sign?
It is neither a scalar or a vector? Scalar and vectors are used to describe quantities, for example scalars include distance and mass, while vectors include weight and velocity. We do not say that a situation is a scalar or a vector.
Is the number of leaves on a tree scalar or vector?
scalar lol
Why vector divided by scalar is equal to vector?
It helps to understand division as the opposite of multiplication. In this case, v / s = x; a vector divided by a scalar is something unknown. Turn this around, into a multiplication: x times s = v. In other words: What must I multiply by a scalar to get a vector?
How you can describe that a quantity is a scalar vector?
That means that the quantity has no associated direction.
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is inertia is a scalar or vector?
vector
Can a null vector be added to zero?
No, a vector cannot be added to a scalar. You could multiply a null vector by zero (and you'd get the null vector), but you can't add them.
What is scalar vector?
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
