Is current a scalar or vector quantity-?
Current is a scalar and not a vector quantity despite having both magnitude and direction.
Current is vector or scalar?
Current is a vector quantity because it includes direction.
Is current a scalar or vector quantity?
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.
Is current a vector or 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.
Is electric current scaler or vector quantity?
Electric current is a scalar.
Is current a vector quantity or scalar?
It is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction (it can be positive or negative).
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Why is current scalar?
Current is not scalar. Current is a vector quantity. For simplicity, in electric circuits, current is scalar because the direction is assumed to be one way or another, rather than three dimensional.
Is a current a vector or scalar?
scalar. although current has magnitude(1A,20A,5A etc) and direction but it does not follow vbector laws. hence it is a scalar quantity
What is vector product of a vector and scalar quantities?
(vector) times (vector) produces either a vector or a scalar, depending on whether the vector product or scalar product is performed. (vector) times (scalar) produces a new vector.
How vector is scalar?
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.
The main difference between a scalar and vector quantity is?
A vector quantity includes a direction; a scalar does not.A vector quantity includes a direction; a scalar does not.A vector quantity includes a direction; a scalar does not.A vector quantity includes a direction; a scalar does not.
What is it called when a scalar and a vector are multiplied together?
A Vector. A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is position a vector or scalar?
Position is Vector, not scalar.
What is the product of scalar and vector quantity?
The product of scalar and vector quantity is scalar.
Is the number of leaves on a tree scalar or vector?
scalar lol
What is the product of vector and scalar?
A vector: the scalar portion of the vector is multiplied with the scalar, but the direction is 'conserved' - it just changes the amount, not the direction.
Is electric current a vector quantity?
We generally think of electric current as a scalar quantity. When we think of 1/4th amp or 20 amps, we think of an amount (a scalar quantity) of current flow. On another plane, the electromagnetic forces at work in current generation are actually force vectors. In the traditional sense, electric current, which is the movement of electrons, is from negative to positive. This is not a vector, though. In the macro or "large" world, think of current as scalar.---------------------------------------------------------------------The beauty is that though current is not a vector definitely its direction of flow is used to make length as vector. I is not vector. dl is not vector but I dl will be considered as vector. So innovative and essential concept.>Current density is a vector which appears in Maxwell's equations.
Is weight scalar or vector quantity?

What is scalar vector?
It is an oxymoron. A measurement can be a vector or a scalar. It cannot be both.
Is the distance a vector or scalar quantity?
scalar direction is a vector quantity
Is distance a vector or a scalar?
Distance is a scalar. Displacement is a vector[1]
Is voltage a vector or scalar quantity?
In DC(direct current) circuits, voltage is scalar. But in the case of alternating-current(AC) voltage is vector quantity. It is because in an AC circuit the current is changing the direction for every time period. Therefore, since in this the direction matters its a vector quantity. Regards.
