Question

Current density is:

A.

A scalar quantity

B.

A vector quantity

C.

Dimensionless

D.

None of the above

Correct option is B

Current density is a vector quantity. It represents the amount of electric current flowing through a unit area of a conductor. The direction of the current density vector is the same as the direction of the flow of positive charges. It has both magnitude and direction, which are key characteristics of vector quantities. The SI unit of current density is amperes per square meter (A/m²).

Thus, the correct answer is (b) A vector quantity.
