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.

Is current scalar or vector?..

Answer / waqas haider

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
out direction.than how one rely on this defend.. sometimes
we are to point put that light is coming from right
direction to left direction... than will light be a vector?
no.. so give some solid defend.....
