magnitude

PlasmaCalcs.quantities.patterns.vector_arithmetic.magnitude(A, *, squared=False)

return vector magnitude of A, assuming vector components along the dimension ‘component’.

squared: bool, default False

if True, return |A|**2 instead of |A|.

[EFF] to get |A|**2, when |A| is not needed,

magnitude(A, squared=True) is more efficient than magnitude(A)**2
