Should a quantity having magnitude and direction be necesserily a vector, give example

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, The necessary condition is that the quantity must also obey the low of vector addition. For example, electric current, time, large angles have magnitude and direction but even then they do not obey low of vector addition.
