The gravitational force fields are both scalar and vector. The forces are the first derivative of the energy.

The derivative is a Quaternion derivative X=[d/dr,Del].


The total energy is W = -mGM/r + cP and there are five forces,

F = XW= [d/dr,Del][-mGM/r, cP] = [vp/r -cDel.P, cdP/dr - Del mGM/r + cDelxP]


The scalar forces are :

vp/r centripetal scalar force

-cDel.P= -cp/r cos(PR) centrifugal scalar force


the vector forces are:

cdP/dr = -cp/r R/r tangent force

Del -mGM/r = vp/r R/r gradient force

cDelxP = RxP cp/r sin(PR) Curl force.

Is magnetic field a scalar or density quantity?

A magnetic field is neither: it is a vector field with both direction and quantity.


Is gravitational field a vector quantity?

Yes, the gravitational field is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude (strength) and direction, which are important in determining the effect of gravity on objects within the field.


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.


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.
