\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }


\qquad \tt \large Scaler :

  • Pressure
  • Electric current
  • Conductivity
  • Electric Conductance
  • Frequency
  • Heat capacity
  • Power
  • Latent heat


\qquad \tt \large Vector :

  • Impedance
  • Torque

\large \tt Explanation \: :


\textsf{Scaler quantity : }

Those quantities that can be expressed simply by its magnitude [numeric value and unit] are known as Scaler quantities.

Operations on Scaler quantities can be done by simple algebraic rules.

Eg. Pressure, Electric current, Conductivity, Electric Conductance, frequency, heat capacity, power, latent heat, etc


\textsf{Vector quantity }

Those quantities that need magnitude and direction to define express itself and follows Vector law of addition are known as Vector quantities.

Vector algebra is used for operations on vector quantities.

Eg. Impedance, Torque, etc
