About Vector
What are vectors?
Vectors are quantities defined by magnitude and direction. The geometrical representation of a vector is by means of an arrow whose length, to some scale, represents the magnitude of the physical quantity and whose direction indicates the direction of the vector.
What is scalar?
A scalar quantity is one which is completely defined by its magnitude. To distinguish the magnitude of a vector a from its direction we use the mathematical notation
Magnitude of a Vector
If the components of a vector in a rectangular coordinate system are known. To distinguish the magnitude of a vector a from its direction we use the mathematical notation. Since the vector and its components form a right-angled triangle, we have the magnitude of a vector defined as
where r = magnitude or modulus of Z and is written as mod Z or |z|. Note the actual value of r is determined by using Pythagoras’ theorem
Argument of a Vector, θ
The θ is called the argument (or amplitude) of Z and is written as arg Z. By trigonometry on triangle, argument or amplitude of Z is derived from the division of imaginary path by real path on y and x axis respectively
