Pick out the two scalar quantities in the following list: force, angular momentum, work, current, linear momentum, electric field, average velocity, magnetic moment, relative velocity.

The two scalar quantities are work and current because they are defined by magnitude only.


NOTE: A scalar quantity is a quantity that is described by a magnitude or numerical value only.


Work has magnitude only. Although current has direction also, it is a scalar quantity because it follows general laws of algebra.
