Is current scalar or vector?..

Answer / smit

basically current is a tensor quantity. Those quantities
which have magnitude as well as direction, but do not follow
the triangle laws of vector addition are known as tensor
quantities. other examples are pressure, moment of inertia
etc. check tensors on wikipedia for more clarity.

many people have written here that current is a vector
because we are to point out its direction. but it is not a
solid defend coz original or electronic current is always
from -ve to +ve terminal so it is not necessary to point

direction to left direction... than will light be a vector?
no.. so give some solid defend.....
