Yes, both the gravitational field and electric field are vector quantities. This means that they have both magnitude and direction, and can be represented by arrows in a specific direction. The direction of the field at any point indicates the direction in which a test object would move if placed in that field.

Yes, both the gravitational field and electric field are vector quantities.
Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, unlike scalar quantities which only have magnitude.
- Electric field (E) is the force per unit charge experienced by a positive test charge placed in the field. It is a vector quantity that has both magnitude (strength of the field) and direction (the direction in which the positive test charge would experience a force). - Gravitational field (g) is the force per unit mass experienced by a particle of mass m placed in the field. Similar to the electric field, the gravitational field is also a vector quantity with both magnitude (strength of the field) and direction (the direction in which the particle of mass m would experience a force).
