Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Current is a scalar quantity as it does not follow the triangle laws of vector addition. For example, the resultant current of two currents travelling in a wire is the algebraic sum of the currents. Also, electric current is considered a scalar quantity because it has only the magnitude and no direction corresponding to the current flow.
