The discussion clarifies that neither angle nor electric current is classified as a vector quantity due to their failure to adhere to the vector addition property. Only infinitesimal angles conform to this property, which raises questions about the classification of angles as vectors. In contrast, current density is explicitly identified as a vector quantity, highlighting the distinction between these physical quantities.
PREREQUISITESStudents of physics, educators in vector analysis, and professionals in fields requiring a clear understanding of vector properties and classifications.
Neither electric current nor angle are considered to be vectors. Current density is a vector quantity.<sHoRtFuSe> said:If the physical quantity angle doesn't follow the vector addition property (only infinitesimal angles follow this), why is it even considered to be a vector? Because i thought electrical current isn't considered to be a vector because it doesn't follow this rule. Why isn't it enough to rule out angle as a vector quantity?
