Er.. I'm not Einstein ;-) but I'll try and put you on the right track... The term "magnetic vector" refers to the amplitude and direction of the magnetic field associated with an electromagnetic wave. Hope this helps!

∙ 11y agoIf you apply a magnetic field to matter (i.e. a piece of iron) then preexisting magnets on the atomic level align with the magnetic field. The strength on direct of this orientation is described by the magnetization vector.

Is magnetic field line scalar or vector quantity?
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.
Is magnetic moment scalar or vector?
Magnetic moment is a vecotr quantity
Which of this two quantities is not a vector quantity magnetic field or charge?
Charge is not a vector.
Why is the magnetic field a vector quantity?
Magnetism is a force. Vector notation is required to indicate magnitude and direction of a force.
Why light is characterized by electric vector although it also possesses the magnetic vector?
It can probably be characterized by any of the two - the electric vector, or the magnetic vector.
Is magnetic field line scalar or vector quantity?
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.
Is magnetic moment scalar or vector?
Magnetic moment is a vecotr quantity
Which of this two quantities is not a vector quantity magnetic field or charge?
Charge is not a vector.
What is a magnetic field vector?
It is a way of representing the magnetic force at a point in the field. The magnitude and direction of the vector represents the strength and the direction of the magnetic force acting on a charged particle in the field.
What is the causes of electromagnetic induction?
Change in magnetic flux.iechange in magnetic field (B).change in the area vector/ area of magnetic field under the closed circuit (A).The angle between area vector and magnetic field .......xomagnetic flux = cosxo . A . B
Why is magnetic induction a vector quantity?
Magnetic field induction at a point is defined as the FORCE experienced by a unit north pole placed at that point. Since force is a vector quantity, manetic field induction also becomes a vector quantitiy.
Why is a magnetic field a vector quantity?
Magnetism is a force. Vector notation is required to indicate magnitude and direction of a force.
Why is the magnetic field a vector quantity?
Magnetism is a force. Vector notation is required to indicate magnitude and direction of a force.
Is magnetic field a scalar or density quantity?
A magnetic field is neither: it is a vector field with both direction and quantity.
How are electric force and magnetic force similar?
Both act only on charged particles (ions, protons, or electrons). ?However, an electric field (which generates an ELECTRIC FORCE) acts on a particle in the same direction as the field, given by the equation:F(vector) = q*E(vector)The resulting force vector is in the same direction as the field vector (for positive charges).A magnetic field generates a force ONLY on a MOVING charge, and ONLY if the charge is moving non-parallel to the magnetic field:F(vector) = q*v(vector) x B(vector)Because of the cross-product, the magnetic force is a direction perpendicular to the velocity and magnetic field vectors (use the right hand rule to figure out the direction of magnetic force). ?The particle will still have momentum from its initial velocity, so an applied magnetic field will (pretty much) always make the particle move in a curved path.
