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
The strength of the electric field is a scalar quantity. But it's the magnitude of thecomplete electric field vector.At any point in space, the electric field vector is the strength of the force, and thedirection in which it points, that would be felt by a tiny positive charge located there.
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.
No,because electric field (force/charge) is a vector quantity, i.e. , it has both magnitude as well as direction.
Any vector quantity does. Examples of vector quantities include but are not limited to . . . - Displacement - Velocity - Acceleration - Torque - Force - Electric field - Momentum - Poynting vector

Scaler. Its vector counterpart is the electric field.
A quantity that has both magnitude and direction often has an arrow drawn over the unit of measurement. This is known as a vector quantity, as opposed to a scalar quantity which has no direction.
Electric field strength depends on direction and magnitude because it is 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.
bcoz it has driectionand maganitude
Simply explained, it has directionality.
No,because electric field (force/charge) is a vector quantity, i.e. , it has both magnitude as well as direction.

no electric field is not a potential field .ELECTRIC FIELD IS A SCALAR QUANTITY WHERE AS POTENTIAL IS THE VECTOR QUANTITY. NO SCALAR QUANTITY HAS A FIELD SO THERE IS NO RELATION BETWEEN ELECTRIC FIELD AND POTENTIAL OR IN OTHER WORD POTENTIAL HAS NO FIELD <<>> An electric field is a vector field, because it has magnitude and direction. A pair of charged parallel plates has an electric field between them directed from the negative to the positive plate. The electric field is the gradient of the potential, which is another field but a scalar one. A field is just a quantity with a value that depends on positon. The potential is measured in volts and if one plate is grounded and the other at positive potential V, the potential rises from zero to V as the position changes from the lower plate to the top one.
