Answer:
No,Electricity is a scalar quantity . It represents the flow of positive charge but tested as scalar because current follows the law of scalar addition not the vector addition.

Explanation:
Electrical current is a scalar quantity. The reason why it is often considered vector is fairly simple:
Electrical current is defined by a formula:
Electricity is like water. Imagine that a wire is a pipe with lots of ‘water’ particles flowing through it (electrons). Current is a measure of how much charge flows past a point in a second. So we measure how many electrons pass one point in a second and then work out how much charge there is by multiplying the charge carried by one electron by however many electrons pass that point.
