કોઈ સદિશને માન તથા દિશા બંને હોય છે. શું તેનો અર્થ એ થાય કે કોઈ રાશિ જેને માન અને દિશા બંને હોય તે સદિશ જ હશે ? કોઈ વસ્તુનું પરિભ્રમણ, ભ્રમણાક્ષની દિશા તથા કોણીય સ્થાન વડે દર્શાવી શકાય છે. શું તેનો અર્થ એ થાય કે કોઈ પણ પરિભ્રમણ એક સદિશ છે ?
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
No; No
A physical quantity having both magnitude and direction need not be considered a vector. For example, despite having magnitude and direction, current is a scalar quantity. The essential requirement for a physical quantity to be considered a vector is that it should follow the law of vector addition.
Generally speaking, the rotation of a body about an axis is not a vector quantity as it does not follow the law of vector addition. However, a rotation by a certain small angle follows the law of vector addition and is therefore considered a vector.
