A vector quantity is one that has a magnitude (a number), and a direction. No, resistance is not a vector quantity; it is a scalar quantity (only magnitude).

Can alternating current be expressed as a vector?

In the case of AC, you can express the current, the voltage and the equivalent to the resistance (called "impedance" in this case) as a vector - with a magnitude, and a phase angle.


What is meant by the term capacitive resistance?

That term to me is incorrect it should be capacitance impedance. Resistance is linear impedance. CAPACITANCE will follow a vector caused by the capacitor value.


What is an example of drag force?

A drag force is a dissipative force. This can be in the form of air resistance or fluid resistance. Drag force is a force that acts opposite to the relative motion of an object moving in a surrounding fluid.


Does a cloning vector contain promoter region?

No, not really since it is just for cloning. But their should be enough promoter/sequence to provide antibiotic resistance.


What is the similarities between vector and phasor?

"Vector" is a description of magnitude and direction, and can apply to any quantity that has magnitude and direction, such as an aircraft's flight path. "Phasor" is a vector as used in alternating current electrical/electronic circuits. Calculations are the same as for general-purpose vector math, but the quantities are typically phase angle, voltage, voltage, current, resistance, reactance and impedance. Some calculations will use conductance, admittance and susceptance.


Can a vector be represented in terms of unit vector?

Yes, a vector can be represented in terms of a unit vector which is in the same direction as the vector. it will be the unit vector in the direction of the vector times the magnitude of the vector.


What is null vector?

NULL VECTOR::::null vector is avector of zero magnitude and arbitrary direction the sum of a vector and its negative vector is a null vector...


What are precommissioning tests of transformers?

magnetising current test, magnetising balance test, s.c test, vector group test, winding resistance test, ratio test


When a series circuit containing resistance and inductive reactance is connected to a ac supply the current will?

The load current will lag the supply voltage by an angle called a 'phase angle', determined by the values of resistance and inductive reactance. The magnitude of the load current will be determined by the impedance of the circuit, which is the vector sum of the resistance and inductive reactance.


What is the angle between vector a and vector b when mode of vector a plus vector b is equal to mode of vector a minus vector b?

90 degrees


What is the sum of two vectors A.addition vector B.distance vector C.resultant vector D.displacement vector?

That is usually called the resultant vector.


Is vector A parallel vector B given that vector A is equal to the zero vector and vector B is equal to the zero vector?

The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector. V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.
