It is the rate of change in the vector for a unit change in the direction under consideration. It may be calculated as the derivative of the vector in the relevant direction.

Is magnetic field line scalar or vector quantity?
Vector.
The direction of the electric field vector is defined as?
Direction of the electric field vector is the direction of the force experienced by a charged particle in an external electric field.
What is the equation for calculating gradient earth science?
Gradient= change in field value divided by the distance
Which of this two quantities is not a vector quantity magnetic field or charge?
Charge is not a vector.
Is magnetic field strength a vector quantity?
When one refers to the strength of a magnetic field, they're usually referring to the scalar magnitude of the magnetic field vector, so no.
Why curl of electrical field is zero?
Because Electric field can be expressed as the gradient of a scalar. Curl of a gradient is always zero by rules of vector calculus.
What is the physical significance of the gradient of a vector field?
it used in our practical life.. for ex. in hills r in mountains
What is the difference between gradient and vector notation?
In the name of God; It must be mentioned that a vector has two important characteristics; 1- direction and 2- quantity. in other word for identification a vector these two characteristics must be defined. for example when we speak about displacement of a body it must has direction and quantity. but about gradient, it has a general mean: difference. Also a specified mean may be defined for it: "any increase or decrease in a vector or scalar field". it is a vector field.
Is potential gradient vector or scalar?
it is scalar
What is gradient ratio?
what do you mean by gradient of a scalar field? what do you mean by gradient of a scalar field?
What is meant by GVF in snake?
It stands for gradient vector flow.
How can you justify that gravatational force is an example of conservative force?
Conservative vector force is the result of the gradient of energy. Gravitational vector force is the result of the gradient of -GmM/r = -mu/r.
What does an upside down triangle mean in maths notation?
The 'upside down' triangle symbol is the (greek?) letter Nabla. Nabla means the gradient. The gradient is the vector field whoose components are the partial derivatives of a function F given by (df/dx, df/dy).
What is the temperature gradient formula?
Gradient= Change in field value/Distance
What is the physical significance of gradient of any physical quantity?
the gradient of a scalar function of any quantity is defined as a vector field having magnitude equal to the maximum space rate of change of the quantity and having a direction identical with the direction of displacement along which the rate of change is maximum.
Is magnetic field line scalar or vector quantity?
Vector.
Is field vector quantity?
no
