प्रश्न
Is a vector necessarily changed if it is rotated through an angle?

उत्तर
No. A vector is different if its rotation is any angle other than a multiple of 360° or 2π radians. It does not change even when rotated through multiples of 360°, though. The direction will remain the same as it is merely making complete circles.
