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 is coplanar vector?

In geometry a vector is used to make the equations easier to understand and to figure out. Velocity and force are examples of vectors. For a vector to be coplanar there must be two or more and they must be linearly dependent. Coplanar vectors have proportional components and their rank is 2.


What is vector in plant pathology?

A vector is an organism that can carry pathogen(= disease causing organism) from infected plant to a health plant. Generally, a vector is an insect, a nematode, a fungi, or insect like organisms e.g. spider mites. To qualify as vector, the organism must have the ability to acquire the pathogen, must be able to retain the pathogen for some length of time and lastly it must be able to inject it into a suitable/susceptible plant. The relationships between the vector and pathogen can be described as simple if the pathogen does not circulate or replicate in the vector or complex if the pathogen replicates or circulate in the vector. In the latter case, the vector also acts as the host of the pathogen.


Can two vectors of unequal magnitude add up to give the zero vector?

No. The vector resultant of addition of vectors is the vector that would connect the tail of the first vector to the head of the last. For any set of vectors to add to the zero vector, the endpoint of the last vector added must be coincident with the start point of the first. Therefore for the sum of only two vectors to have a chance of being the zero vector, the second vector must be in a direction exactly opposite the first. So you can tell that the result of adding the two vectors could only can be zero vector if the two vectors were of two equal magnitude.


In describing a vector what must you describe besides the magnitude.?

Its directiondirection

Is curl of vector function F must perpendicular to every vector function f?

No, the curl of a vector field is a vector field itself and is not required to be perpendicular to every vector field f. The curl is related to the local rotation of the vector field, not its orthogonality to other vector fields.

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.

Velocity is represented graphically by an what?

By an arrow, a vector. Velocity is a vector quantity that must have both magnitude (speed) and direction (bearing).

None are as they do not properly describe a vector. A vector must have a direction and velocity.
