What does vector mean in science terms?
Any physical quantity which has both direction and magnitude is called a vector. A quantity must also obey the 'Triangle law of vector addition' to be called as a vector. For example displacement is a vector, u can say a person moved 5 km (magnitude) along west(direction). But electric current is not a vector, it has magnitude and its direction is from +ve terminal to -ve terminal but it doesn't obey triangle law. Rather currents are added as scalars.
Is it necessary that every vector has to obey the law of vector addition?
Yes.
How do you make vector representation?
explain the vector representation of Coulom's law.
Is commutative law applicable to vector subtraction?
NO
Does the subtraction of two vectors obey the commutative law?
Yes subtraction of vector obeys commutative law because in subtraction of vector we apply head to tail rule
Does law of vectors means triangle law of vector?
ya they just accidentally said law of vectors instead.
What are balenced forces?
Forces acting on a point such that it gives a null vector by vector addition law, then such type of forces are called balanced forces.
What does newton 3ed law of motion mean?
Newton's 3rd law means the sum of the vector forces is zero.
How many scaler equations in Maxwell's equations?
Maxwell's equations contain two scalar equations and two vector equations. Gauss' law and Gauss' law for magnetism are the scalar equations. The Maxwell-Faraday equation and Ampere's circuital law are the vector equations.
What is the triangle law of vectors?
If three vectors form a triangle , their vector sum is zero.
How do you carry out experiment to verify parallelogram law of vector addition?
Using Gravesand's apparatus
Can the triangle law of vector addition be used for many vectors?
no because triangle only contain three vectors and if many vector are added then they cant form a triangle
