Vector or Scalar

While current does have a direction, it does not follow the laws of vector addition, so cannot be considered a vector.

An element of current $dI$ is the dot product of the current density $\vec{J}$ and the vector area $\vec{dS}$ , implying that electric current $I = \displaystyle \int \vec{J} \cdot \vec{dS}$ is a scalar quanity.
