General SciencePhysics
Which of the following is a vector quantity?
- a.Current
- b.Current density
- c.Power
- d.Wattless current
Answer: (B) Current density
Current density $\vec{J}$ (current per unit area) has a direction at each point and is a vector. Electric current, though it has a sense of flow, does not obey vector addition and is a scalar; power and wattless current are also scalars.
