Question

Magnitude of vector always has :

• A. Positive quantity
• B. Negative quantity
• C. Zero quantity
• D. Angular quantity

Hint:

The direction of a vector may vary, but its magnitude is always zero or positive and never negative.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: A vector quantity possesses both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of a vector represents its size or numerical value and is always non-negative. In general, vector magnitude is considered a positive quantity. For example: \[ |\vec{A}| > 0 \]

Step 1: Understand the meaning of vector magnitude.
Magnitude refers to the size or amount of a vector quantity.

Step 2: Determine the nature of magnitude.
Since magnitude represents size, it cannot be negative. Therefore, the magnitude of a vector is considered: \[ \text{Positive quantity} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(A)\ \text{Positive quantity}} \]
