Those physical quantities which have only magnitude but no direction are called scalars. For eg. Mass, Speed, Distance, Work, Energy, Charge, Current etc.<\/span><\/div>\n

Those physical quantities which have both magnitude and direction are called vectors. For eg. Displacement, Force, Velocity, Acceleration, Linear Momentum etc.<\/span><\/div>\n

Types of Vectors:<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
i] \u00a0 Unit Vector<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0A vector is said to be a unit vector if its magnitude is one.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
ii] \u00a0Null Vector<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0If the magnitude of a vector is zero, the vector is said to be the null vector.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
iii] \u00a0Negative Vector<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0Two vectors are said to be negative to each other if they have same magnitude but opposite in direction. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
iv] Coplaner Vector:<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Two vectors are said to be coplaner if they lies on a same plane.<\/span><\/div>\n
