Another side of this story: I think everybody agrees that electric potential is a scalar. Hence a voltage V, being potential difference between two points, is also a scalar. Similarly, everybody agrees that resistance R of a conductor is a scalar.

I certainly can find counter examples to the assertion that resistance
is a scalar. Plastic films show notable non isotropism.

Brian Whatcott Altus OK Eureka!
