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!

Is magnetic field line scalar or vector quantity?

Vector.


Is the magnetic field a vector quantity?

Yes, the magnetic field is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.


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 relationship between the magnetic field vector potential and the behavior of magnetic fields in a given physical system?

The magnetic field vector potential is a mathematical quantity that helps describe the behavior of magnetic fields in a physical system. It is related to the magnetic field through a mathematical relationship called the curl. By understanding the vector potential, we can better predict and analyze how magnetic fields will behave in a given system.


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 the magnetic field a vector quantity?

Magnetism is a force. Vector notation is required to indicate magnitude and direction of a force.

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?

Light is characterized by its electric vector because its interactions with matter are primarily through the electric field. The magnetic field of light comes into play when dealing with certain materials or under specific conditions, such as in radio waves or at high frequencies, but in general, the electric field of light is more prominent in its interactions with matter.


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.
