Want this question answered?
Electric current is a scalar.
Fundamental quantity
Electric current
Current is a scalar if it is given as a scalar - such as 5A. There is no direction connected with this. If it is referenced to a voltage - 5A at 30 degrees lagging the voltage - then it is a vector quantity.
That is the amp, or ampere.

yes it is
yes it is
Electric current
Electric current is a flow of electrons is a measure of the quantity of electrical charge passing any point of the wire in a unit time.And, electric current is measured in ampere (A).Whereas, electric charge is the quantity of electricity that flows in electric currents . And , it is measured in coulomb (C)
Neither
