Question

Electric current is physical and scalar quantity or only scalar quantity ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric current is a scalar quantity. Any physical quantity is termed as a vector quantity when the quantity has magnitude and direction. ... Therefore, an electric current is a scalar quantity although it possesses magnitude and direction.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In the case of electric current, when two currents meet at a junction, the resultant current of these will be an algebraic sum and not the vector sum. Therefore, an electric current is a scalar quantity although it possesses magnitude and direction.
