Electric current and its associated fields are frequently modeled using scalar quantities, such as the electric scalar potential, to simplify mathematical formulations and computational analyses in electromagnetic systems.

The analysis

The retrieved papers provide clear technical evidence that electric current-related phenomena and Maxwell's equations in specific contexts (such as eddy current analysis, magnetic scalar potential formulations, and numerical magnetohydrodynamics) are mathematically modeled using scalar quantities like the electric scalar potential.
