  2. a vector quantity
  3. dimensionless
  4. None of the above
ಉತ್ತರ ತೋರಿಸು ಮತ್ತು ವಿವರಣೆ

ಉತ್ತರ: (B) a vector quantity

ವಿವರಣೆ

Current density J = I/A points in the direction of positive charge flow, so it is a vector.

  • (A) ತಪ್ಪು

    Wrong: current is scalar, but current density has direction.

  • (B) ಸರಿ

    Correct: current density J has magnitude and direction (A/m²).

  • (C) ತಪ್ಪು

    Wrong: it has units of A/m².

  • (D) ತಪ್ಪು

    Wrong: it is a vector.
