Solution and Explanation
Work and current are scalar quantities.
Work done is given by the dot product of force and displacement. Since the dot product of two quantities is always a scalar, work is a scalar physical quantity.
Current is described only by its magnitude. Its direction is not taken into account. Hence, it is a scalar quantity.

Top Questions on Motion in a plane
- A person travelling on a straight line moves with a uniform velocity \( v_1 \) for a distance \( x \) and with a uniform velocity \( v_2 \) for the next \( \frac{3x}{2} \) distance. The average velocity in this motion is \( \frac{50}{7} \, \text{m/s} \). If \( v_1 \) is 5 m/s, then \( v_2 \) is ___ m/s.
