Is current scalar or vector?

Answer Posted / 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.
