specific charge is because a physical quantity can be complete only when by giving magnitude only. Here the physical quantity is complete by its magnitude.
vector
Since you can represent that with a single number, it isn't a vector - just a scalar.
surface tension is a scalar quantity because it has no specific direction.
Distance is a scalar. But displacement is a vector.

scalar lol
km/s can be either a vector or a scalar quantity. It is a unit of speed, which is scalar, but if this speed is in a specific direction, thereby becoming velocity, it is vector.
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
vector
Electric potential is a scalar quantity since work done and charge are scalars
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
A vector has direction, where as a scalar does not. When you add two vectors, it is like you are moving one vector to the end of the other vector, and closing off the triangle with a vector for the third side. That third vector is the addition of the first two vectors. The new vector points in a specific direction, so it cannot be a scalar.
current is vector or scalar
