alleryWhich statement about electric charge is correct?
ACharge is a vector quantity measured in newtons
BCharge is a scalar quantity measured in coulombs
CCharge is a scalar quantity measured in amperes
DCharge is a vector quantity measured in coulombs
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Charge is a scalar quantity measured in coulombs
Electric charge is a scalar quantity, and its SI unit is the coulomb.
Ampere is the unit of current, not charge.
