What is electric charge? Is it a scalar or a vector quantity?
(N/A) Electric charge is an intrinsic property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field. It is the fundamental property of subatomic particles like protons and electrons.
Electric charge is a scalar quantity. Although it has positive and negative signs,these signs represent the nature of the charge (like or unlike) rather than a direction in space. It follows the algebraic laws of addition,not vector addition.
