Question

Statement 1: Current has a direction and magnitude so it is a vector.
Statement 2: All vectors obey the parallelogram law of vector addition

• A. Statement 1 is correct, Statement 2 is the correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1
• B. Statement 1 is correct, Statement 2 is the correct and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1
• C. Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is wrong
• D. Statement 1 is wrong but Statement 2 is correct

Answer 1

The correct option is D Statement 1 is wrong but Statement 2 is correct

Currents not a vector. When two currents flow into a junction, then they simply add algebraically. In other words, no matter what the angle of the junction was, currents add to give the same sum current flowing out of the junction.
Currents is a quantitiy with magnitude and direction but is a scalar.
A quantity is a vecotor only if it follows parallelogram law of addition.
