Because to completely describe it you must know both how strong it is (magnitude) and in what direction it points.
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
No,because electric field (force/charge) is a vector quantity, i.e. , it has both magnitude as well as direction.
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.
Any vector quantity does. Examples of vector quantities include but are not limited to . . . - Displacement - Velocity - Acceleration - Torque - Force - Electric field - Momentum - Poynting vector
Both. The electric field is a Quaternion field, a scalar e and a vector E, E = [e,E]Maxwell's Equation. 0=XE= [d/dr, Del][e,E] = [de/dr -Del.E, dE/dr + Del e] = [db/dt - Del.E, dB/dt + Del e]
bcoz it has driectionand maganitude
Simply explained, it has directionality.
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
Scaler. Its vector counterpart is the electric field.

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.
no
A vector quantity is any measurement where the direction is relevant, such as position, velocity, acceleration, force, electric field, etc.
