Is magnetic field line scalar or vector quantity?
Vector.
Is magnetic field a scalar or density quantity?
A magnetic field is neither: it is a vector field with both direction and quantity.
What are the vector and scalar fields?
In mathematics, a field is a set with certain operators (such as addition and multiplication) defined on it and where the members of the set have certain properties. In a vector field, each member of this set has a value AND a direction associated with it. In a scalar field, there is only vaue but no direction.
Is electric field strength scalar or 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.
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.
