MCQ
Which of the following is a scalar quantity
- ADisplacement
- BElectric field
- CAcceleration
- ✓Work
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Work
d
(d) Work is a scalar quantity because it is the dot product of two vectors (Force and displacement). All the others have direction and magnitude so they are vectors.
