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.

A vector quantity has direction a scalar quantity does not true or false?
True, a vector quantity has direction, and a scalar quantity does not.
What is another name for kinetic energy?
Another name for heat energy is Thermal energy.
What energy that is the total amount of kinetic and potential energy?
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.
The amount of kinetic energy in a substance is called?
Vector Energy, mcV, it is not a scalar energy. The total energy is the sum of the scalar potential energy and the vector energy of motion. This combination is called Quaternion energy, E = -e1e2zc/2r + mcV.
Is extension a scalar or vector quantity?
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
Is gravitational potential energy a scalar or vector quantity?
Gravitational potential energy is a scalar. Gravity also has a vector energy cmV= cP.
Is potential energy a scalar or vector quantity?
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.
Is potential energy a scalar quantity?
Yes.
Electric potenial scalar or vector why?
Electric potential is a scalar quantity since work done and charge are scalars
Is a electric potential scalar or vector?
Electric potential is a scalar.
Electrostatic potential is a Scalar Quantity or Vector Quantity?
it is a scalar quantity
Why electric charge is a scaler quantity?
Current is a scalar if it is given as a scalar - such as 5A. There is no direction connected with this. If it is referenced to a voltage - 5A at 30 degrees lagging the voltage - then it is a vector quantity.
Is an electric field a potential field?
no electric field is not a potential field .ELECTRIC FIELD IS A SCALAR QUANTITY WHERE AS POTENTIAL IS THE VECTOR QUANTITY. NO SCALAR QUANTITY HAS A FIELD SO THERE IS NO RELATION BETWEEN ELECTRIC FIELD AND POTENTIAL OR IN OTHER WORD POTENTIAL HAS NO FIELD <<>> An electric field is a vector field, because it has magnitude and direction. A pair of charged parallel plates has an electric field between them directed from the negative to the positive plate. The electric field is the gradient of the potential, which is another field but a scalar one. A field is just a quantity with a value that depends on positon. The potential is measured in volts and if one plate is grounded and the other at positive potential V, the potential rises from zero to V as the position changes from the lower plate to the top one.
