Question

Why electric current is not a vector even though it has direction ​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Explanation: In the case of electric current , although it has direction, but when the two current collides or meets their sum is equal to the algebric sum and not vector sum (i.e it does not follow the parallelogram of vector addition).Hence it is a scalar quantity and is not a vector even though it has direction.
