NEET Physics Vectors Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction. | Reason (R): A vector can have different magnitudes and directions depending on the path taken between two points.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, two vectors are equal if they have the same magnitude and direction. The reason given, however, is incorrect because a vector's magnitude and direction are not affected by the path taken.
