Electric current is a scalar.
Electric flux is a scalar quantity, as it represents the amount of electric field passing through a given area. It does not have a direction associated with it, unlike vector quantities.
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.
No, electric potential is a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
A vector quantity is one that has a magnitude (a number), and a direction. No, resistance is not a vector quantity; it is a scalar quantity (only magnitude).
Charge is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude and no direction.
Scaler. Its vector counterpart is the electric field.

No.
Work is a scalar quantity.

If a direction is relevant, then it is NOT a scalar, but a vector.

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.
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.
