define vector product. give its equation
Answers
Answer:
Cross Product
If you have two vectors a and b then the vector product of a and b is c.
c = a × b
So this a × b actually means that the magnitude of c = ab sinθ where θ is the angle between a and b and the direction of c is perpendicular to a well as b. Now, what should be the direction of this cross product? So to find out the direction, we use the rule which we call it as the ”right-hand thumb rule”.
Suppose we want to find out the direction of a × b here we curl our fingers from the direction of a to b. So if we curl our fingers in a direction as shown in the above figure, your thumb points in the direction of c that is in an upward direction. This thumb denotes the direction of the cross product.
While applying rules to direction, the rotation should be taken to smaller angles that is <180° between a and b. So the fingers should always be curled in acute angle between a and b.
