area is a vector quantity,no doubt - 100% sure read the portion of cross products from any of these:

i was also not able to understand why area is a vector quantity
but after reading d above i understood
clear your concept by reading theory then jump into questions

Area is NOT a vector.
Yes, area is a derived quantity.
The physical quantity is simply called area. The official unit (in SI) is the square meter.

Curl represents the force of rotation in a 3-D vector field. Generally, the curl vector at a given point is the answer to the question, "What would happen if I stuck something there that could spin but couldn't move?" Unless the curl is zero, it would spin perpendicularly to the curl vector (according to the right-hand rule), and the longer the vector is, the faster. Curl is mathematically defined in a given direction as the limit of "circulation over area", i.e. the line integral of a circle around the point, divided by the area of the circle, with the circle shrinking towards the point. More practically, the actual vector can found by taking the cross product of the gradient operator with the function that defines the field: curl_x = ∂F/∂y - ∂F/∂z curl_y = ∂F/∂z - ∂F/∂x curl_z = ∂F/∂x - ∂F/∂y
No, adding a direction to a scalar quantity does not make it a vector quantity. A vector quantity must have both magnitude and direction inherently associated with it, while a scalar quantity only has magnitude. Simply adding a direction to a scalar quantity does not change its fundamental nature.
Pressure is a scalar quantity. It is defined as the force per unit area and only has magnitude, not direction.
because i answered in my paper.
area is scalar.because we will not say that your area in this direction and my area in this direction . so,area has only magnitude Answer2: the product of two displacements produce a vector area, AxB this is a vector area. BxA is an opposite area.
Electric flux is a scalar quantity, as it represents the amount of electric field passing through a given area. It does not have a direction associated with it, unlike vector quantities.
it's a rather puzzling idea, but area can be either a scalar or vector quantity. Usually area is a scalar quantity. E.g. the area of my house is 2000 square feet. In more advanced calculus courses you'll run into area vectors. area is a vector because as u know pressure=force/area which is scalar"pressure"=vector"force" / X"area" area"X"= force/pressure which is vector/scalar =vector so area is a vectorIn geometry, for a finite planar surface of scalar area S, the vector area : is defined as a vector whose magnitude is S and whose direction is perpendicular to the plane, as determined by the right hand rule on the rim (moving one's right hand counterclockwise around the rim, when the palm of the hand is "touching" the surface, and the straight thumb indicate the direction). :
Intensity of light is a scalar quantity as it only has magnitude and no specific direction associated with it. It describes the amount of energy the light carries per unit area.
Scalar
Intensity of a wave is a scalar quantity because it only has one value that represents the amount of energy transferred per unit area per unit time. It does not have a direction associated with it like a vector quantity.
Definitely current is a SCALAR. Current density, of course, is a vector quantity Current = charge / time Both charge and time are scalars Current density = current / area Here area is a vector quantity Hence scalar product of current density and area give scalar quantity i.e. current. So electric current is a scalar Of course we assign +ve and -ve sign to currents. It is not because of direction as we do incase of vectors. But it is only algebraic sign.
Area is NOT a vector.
Well it is technically a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction on zero degrees. Reactive power will have a direction of either + or - 90 degrees and apparent power will be the vector sum of the real and reactive power.
