But to assume that because *one* quantity has density-like units and is a vector does not mean that *all* quantities that have comparable units are also vectors. I'll give you an example of this. Torque and energy have identical units: N-m. However, one is explicity defined as a scalar quantity and the other is explicity defined as a vector quantity. No comparison of the units can gloss over the fact that the two quantities are inherently different in nature. They *behave* differently under coordinate transformations. PD

Dear PD, Thank you for your question. I suggest different notations for them: N X m (X is cross product) for torque and Nm for energy.

There is also the subtlety when one is referring to a vector quantity or the (scalar) magnitude of the same vector quantity, as you've noticed. PD

The equation of magnetic force is "vector division by vector". F=iLXB (X is corss product). L is a length vector; assuming L=l m<i:3>, <i:3> is a unit vector. B is magnetic flux density. Its unit is tesla, or Wb/m^2. Wb, Weber, is the unit of magnetic flux. Assuming B= b (Wb/m^2)<j:3>, <j:3> is a unit vector. Since B is a vector of surface density, we can rewrite it: B= b Wb/(m^2<j:3>), <j:3> is moved to denominator. LXB= l m<i:3> X b (Wb/m^2)<j:3> = l m<i:3> * b Wb /(m^2<j:3>) = lb Wb m<i:3>/(m^2<j:3>) It's VDV.
