the current has a magnetude and phase angle or a phasor which in polar form
Current is a vector quantity because it includes direction.
current is vector or scalar
It depends upon the condition.But basically, to be a vector, the physical quantities needs to follow vector algebra.but current dos not follow it so it is scalar quantity.
Electric current is a scalar.
Definitely current is a SCALAR. Current density, of course, is a vector quantity Current = charge / time Both charge and time are scalars Current density = current / area Here area is a vector quantity Hence scalar product of current density and area give scalar quantity i.e. current. So electric current is a scalar Of course we assign +ve and -ve sign to currents. It is not because of direction as we do incase of vectors. But it is only algebraic sign.
scalar. although current has magnitude(1A,20A,5A etc) and direction but it does not follow vbector laws. hence it is a scalar quantity
scalar lol
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
vector
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
vector
scalar direction is a vector quantity
Yes this happens in case of area. Usually area is a scalar quantity. But we provide the direction of course perpendicular to its plane area we make it as a vector. Same way though electric current is not a vector it is sensed as vector as we put along with length of conductor. I is scalar but Idl is vector.
