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 are the physical significance of Maxwell's equations?

As per my knowledge,Maxwell's equations describes the relations between changing electric and magnetic fields. That means time varying electric field can be produced by time varying magnetic field and time varying magnetic field can be produced by time varying electric field.


What are the four Maxwell's equation?

Gauss's law: Electric charges produce an electric field. Gauss's law for magnetism: There are no magnetic monopoles. Faraday's law: Time-varying magnetic fields produce an electric field. Ampère's law: Steady currents and time-varying electric fields produce a magnetic field.


What is the physical significance of null vectors?

Zero vector or null vector is a vector which has zero magnitude and an arbitrary direction. It is represented by . If a vector is multiplied by zero, the result is a zero vector. It is important to note that we cannot take the above result to be a number, the result has to be a vector and here lies the importance of the zero or null vector. The physical meaning of can be understood from the following examples. The position vector of the origin of the coordinate axes is a zero vector. The displacement of a stationary particle from time t to time tl is zero. The displacement of a ball thrown up and received back by the thrower is a zero vector. The velocity vector of a stationary body is a zero vector. The acceleration vector of a body in uniform motion is a zero vector. When a zero vector is added to another vector , the result is the vector only. Similarly, when a zero vector is subtracted from a vector , the result is the vector . When a zero vector is multiplied by a non-zero scalar, the result is a zero vector.


Direction of vector in space is specified by?

It is an integral part of the vector and so is specified by the vector.


The components of a vector or what?

The components of a vector are magnitude and direction.
