Read the statement below carefully and state, with reason and example, if it is true or false:
A scalar quantity is one that does not vary from one point to another in space.
पर्याय
True
False
उत्तर
This statement is False.
Explanation:
A scalar quantity such as gravitational potential can vary from one point to another in space. Examples include temperature, gravitational potential, and the density of a fluid or an anisotropic medium, along with charge density, which also varies from one point to another.
