A scalar has magnitude only, however a vector has both magnitude and direction. 
For example,
5 meters is a scalar as it only provides a magnitude. However, if we said 30 meters per second, North, this would be considered a vector. It provides both magnitude and direction. 
A vector can be represented by OA, a or a.
