MCQ
A physical quantity which has a direction
- Amust be a vector
- Bmay be a vector
- ✓may be both scalar and vector
- Dnone of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
may be both scalar and vector
c
Time, pressure, surface tension, current, etc, are some such physical quantities which have direction but are not vectors. Hence, a physical quantity having a direction may or may not be a vector.
