किसी सदिश में परिणाम व दिशा दोनों होते हैं। क्या इसका यह अर्थ है कि कोई राशि जिसका परिमाण व दिशा हो, वह अवश्य ही सदिश होगी ? किसी वस्तु के घूर्णन की व्याख्या घूर्णन-अक्ष की दिशा और अक्ष के परितः घूर्णन-कोण द्वारा की जा सकती है। क्या इसका यह अर्थ है कि कोई भी घूर्णन एक सदिश है ?
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.
