    Those physical quantities which possess both magnitude and direction are called vectors.<\/span><\/p>

    1. A vector is specified by giving its magnitude (a number along with its unit) and its direction.<\/span><\/li>
    2. Some examples of vectors are displacement, velocity, acceleration momentum, force etc.<\/span><\/li>
    3. Vectors can\u2019t be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided just as the ordinary numbers i.e by using the rules of ordinary algebra.<\/span><\/li>
    4. Vectors are added by using by using \u2018Triangle Law of addition\u2019 or by \u2018parallelogram law of addition\u2019.<\/span><\/li>
    5. Some of the quantities, like current, are having both magnitude and direction but are not considered vector quantities, because they do not follow laws of addition.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
