The Burgers vector b is the vector which defines the magnitude and direction of slip. For a pure edge dislocation, the Burgers vector is perpendicular to the dislocation line, while for a pure screw dislocation, the Burgers vector is parallel to the dislocation line.

The Burgers vector b is the vector which defines the magnitude and direction of slip. For a pure edge dislocation, the Burgers vector is perpendicular to the dislocation line, while for a pure screw dislocation, the Burgers vector is parallel to the dislocation line. Correct Answer True

If we draw a complete circuit around a dislocation and non-dislocation region in the lattice, the missing direction in dislocation region will indicate the burger vector.
