It means that the thing referred to is so tiny that it is immeasurably tiny.

Does an electric field have strength but no direction?

It has plenty of direction. The direction of the electric field at any point in it is the direction of the force that would be felt by an infinitesimally small positive charge placed at that point.


What is the path of projectile in vacuum?

This really depends on what is meant by "SPACE". If the model is vacuum with no significant sources of force (gravity...) then newton is still right: continuity of the vector at time of observation. No force acting on object=>no accelleration=>no alteration of path therefore same path.Theory states that event a most infinitesimally small object in mass travelling at an infinitesimally small velocity (direction and speed) will still travel in an ellipse defined by GM1M2/R2 where M1 is self mass at center of mass and M2 is the RELATIVE mass or all other objects in the Universe at that center of gravity. The ellipse is relational distance between the 2 centers of mass plus the R where the acceleration of the object and the gravity are in equilibrium.


How do magnets and wire make electricity?

Any time a conductor passes through a magnetic field you create electricity. It may be infinitesimally small, but it is there. It is caused by the magnetic field forcing electrons in the conductor to move. It is called electromotive force(emf) and is measured in volts. If there is no circuit, which is a path for the electrons to flow, it is not useable. Generators, or the alternator in your car, are simply ways to create enough emf to be useable.


How do microwave ovens allow light to escape but not microwaves?

Both visible light and microwave radiation are different variations of the same electromagnetic energy. Visible light has infinitesimally small wavelengths, and therefore it can pass through the screen holes. Microwave radiation has much larger wavelengths, and these wavelengths are too big to "fit" through the screen holes, and therefore the screen appears solid to the microwave radiation. The microwave radiation is therefore completely reflected by the screen.
