Why is an electric field strength a vector quantity?
for a vector quantity it must have both magnitude and direction and since it has both magnitude and direction it is therefore considered a vector
What quantity requires both magnitude and direction?
Vectors need both magnitude and direction.
What is a directed segment representing a quantity that has both magnitude and direction?
A vector is a directed segment representing a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. <Hope this helped!>
What do you mean by vectare Quantity give example?
A vector quantity refers to a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Some examples of vector quantities include velocity (speed and direction), force (magnitude and direction), and displacement (distance and direction).
Is their any physical quantity having both magnitude and direction still not a vector?
I don't think so - is something has a magnitude and a direction, by definition it is a vector.
Quantities have both a magnitude and direction?
A quantity with both magnitude and direction is a Vector quantity.
A physical quantity described by both magnitude and direction is called what?
A physical quantity that is specified by both magnitude and direction is a vector by definition.
Why is an electric field strength a vector quantity?
for a vector quantity it must have both magnitude and direction and since it has both magnitude and direction it is therefore considered a vector
Is speed a scalar quantity or vector quantity?
Speed is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but not direction, velocity is a vector quantity because it has magnitude and direction.
A force has both what?
A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
What is definition of vector?
A vector is a quantity with both a direction and magnitude
What is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction?
This is known as a vector quantity.
What quantity requires both magnitude and direction?
Vectors need both magnitude and direction.
Is the position scalar or vector quantity?
Vector-it has both magnitude and direction
Why is velocity a vector quantity?
Velocity refers to both speed and direction. A vector refers to both magnitude (the speed in this case) and a direction. Speed without reference to a direction is a scalar, a magnitude without direction.
How does a vector quantity different from scalar quantity?
A scalar quantity defines only magnitude, while a vector quantity defines both a magnitude and direction.
How does a vector quantity different from a scalar quantity?
A scalar quantity defines only magnitude, while a vector quantity defines both a magnitude and direction.
