Tensor quantities r the quantities that hav both the magnitude and direction ( just like vectors ) but are different vectors as they dont follow the vector rule of addition .....


For Ex - Electric Current is a tensor quantity

tensors are a different class of quantities and are neither vectors nor scalars....for example moment of inertia is a tensor

a physical quantity is said to b tensor if it is niethr scalar , nor vector as its direction iz not specified ..


tensor hv diffrent values with diffrent directions..


 


examples-:stress=force /unit area;...


moment of inertia



 


rate it if u understud....

A tensor is an object which extends the notion of scalar, vector, and matrix. The term has slightly different meanings in mathematics and physics. In the mathematical fields of multilinear algebra and differential geometry, a tensor is a multilinear function. In physics and engineering, the same term usually means what a mathematician would call a tensor field: an association of a different (mathematical) tensor with each point of a geometric space, varying continuously with position. 


I LIKE HARRY POTTER BOOKS, GAMES, MOVIES, THEMES, WALLPAPERS, ANIMATIONS ETC. I HAVE COMPLETED READING ALL POTTER BOOKS, GAMES AND SEEN ALL THE MOVIES AND I OWN THE SAME.

I AM A BIG FAN IF J.K.ROWLING AND WARNER BROTHERS.

Tensors are physical quantities which are not completely specified
by unit, magnitude and direction.
eg. moment of inertia.
