Electrical Potential Energy is a scalar or real number. Ep = zc e2 /4pi r.
Total Energy is a Quaternion, the sum of the real or potential energy and the vector energy, Ev= mcV;
E = Es + Ev = zc e2 /4pi r + mcV where Ev = mcV and V is the vector velocity.
True. A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction, while a scalar quantity only has magnitude.
well the sum of potential and kinetic energy must equal zero because if a body is at rest initially it possess potential energy but when it gets into motion all those potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, Basically kinetic energy is a result of potential energy. Answer2: The sum of potential energy and Kinetic energy is quaternion energy. kinetic energy is vector energy and potential energy is scalar energy. The sum of a scalar and a vector is a quaternion. William Rowan Hamilton discovered this in 1843. Currently Physics does not recognize kinetic energy as a vector. The sum of gravitational potential and kinetic energy is E = -mMG/r + mcV where mcV is the kinetic/vector energy. This vector energy is the source of "dark energy". It is also the reason the Cosmos is in equilibrium (not contracting), in that it balances the gravitational force of attraction with mcDel.V, the centrifugal force of expansion. The centrifugal force is the divergence force from a vector, the kinetic energy mcV, a vector energy.
Oh, dude, work done is actually a scalar quantity. It's like measuring how much energy is transferred when a force acts on an object, but it doesn't care about direction or anything fancy like that. So yeah, work done is just a simple scalar, no need for vector drama here.
Scalar quantity has only magnitude , but no direction while vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.You can understand it by comparing speed and velocity.Velocity has magnitude of speed in a particular direction (or say displacement/time take) while speed only defines the rate of distance covered (no direction). If you are still unable to get your answer for your question then please, elaborate or give some description of extension. -Ajlan Wasfi Khan
Another name for heat energy is Thermal energy.
Electrostatic potential is a scalar quantity. It represents the potential energy per unit charge at a given point in an electric field.
Electric potential is a scalar.
No, electric potential is a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
Electric potential energy is the energy stored in an electric field due to the position of charged particles, while electric potential is the amount of potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in the field. Electric potential is a scalar quantity, while electric potential energy is a scalar quantity. In the context of electric fields, electric potential is related to electric potential energy through the equation: electric potential energy charge x electric potential.
Gravitational potential energy is a scalar. Gravity also has a vector energy cmV= cP.
Potential energy is a scalar quantity. Energy is the sum of a scalar part and a vector part. Energy W is the product of velocity V and momentum P; W = [c+V]P =[ -V.P + cP]. The Potential energy is the scalar energy -V.P=-vmv = -mv^2.Physicists consider energy a scalar quantity, but that is incorrect, energy is a Quaternion quantity, a scalar and a vector . The vector energy is the "Dark Energy" is hidden in plain sight, cP.
Yes.
Electric potential is a scalar quantity since work done and charge are scalars
The potential gradient is a vector quantity. It represents the rate of change of the scalar electric potential with respect to position in space.
Electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a point in an electric field. Electric potential energy is the energy stored in an electric field due to the position of charged particles. In electrical systems, electric potential is a scalar quantity that represents the potential energy per unit charge at a point, while electric potential energy is the total energy stored in the system due to the arrangement of charges. The relationship between them is that electric potential energy is directly proportional to electric potential and charge.
No, mass and energy are not scalars. Mass is a scalar quantity while energy is a scalar quantity.
Electric potential energy is the energy stored in an electric field due to the position of charged particles, while electric potential is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge at a specific point in the field. The key difference is that electric potential energy is a form of energy, while electric potential is a scalar quantity that represents the potential energy per unit charge. To distinguish between the two concepts, remember that electric potential energy is measured in joules, while electric potential is measured in volts.
