The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is a vector, we need to analyze each option based on the definitions of scalar and vector quantities. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first option: Electric Charge** - Electric charge is defined as a scalar quantity. It has magnitude but no direction. - **Conclusion:** Electric charge is not a vector. 2. **Identify the second option: Work** - Work is defined as the dot product of force and displacement (W = F · d). The dot product results in a scalar quantity. - **Conclusion:** Work is not a vector. 3. **Identify the third option: Electric Current** - Electric current (I) is defined as the rate of flow of charge (I = dq/dt). It has magnitude but does not have a specific direction associated with it in the same way that vectors do. - **Conclusion:** Electric current is not a vector. 4. **Identify the fourth option: Momentum** - Momentum (p) is defined as the product of mass (m) and velocity (v), expressed as p = mv. Since velocity is a vector quantity, momentum is also a vector quantity. - **Conclusion:** Momentum is a vector. ### Final Answer: Among the given options, **momentum** is the only vector quantity.
