Electric current is ..... .

Answer»

<P>scalar quantity
vector quantity
derived quantity
simply a number

Solution :scalar quantity

Consider three conductors, meeting at junction p. Here when `I_(1) and I_(2)` CURRENTS COMBINE at point P, they always give `I_(1) + l_(2)= I` Only irrespective of angle `theta`. It MEANS that currentis a scalar quantity.
Moreover , I = `(Q)/(t)` where charge Q and time t both are scalar. Hence current is also a scalar quantity.
