Hii Nannu,
First of all Let me tell you two Concepts,
- Scalar quantity
- Vector quantity
A scalar quantity is nothing but a quantity which is defined by its magnitude or a numerical value.
Eg: Distance,time
A car travelling from Chennai to Mumbai takes 1500 km and same 1500 km for return journey.
In this the Magnitude will not change with respect to direction.
Whereas a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.
Eg: torque,momentum
So Finally magnitude is nothing but a numerical value which is defined.
Thank you.
