distinguish between dot product and Cross product

My friend the basic difference is that a dot product of two vectors i.e. scalar product is a scalar quantity. While vector product of two vectors i.e. cross product is a vector quantity. ... Dot product is also the product of two vectors but it turns out to be a scalar and hence contains only magnitude but no direction....mark it as brainliest

Heyya!
DOT PRODUCT : it is the product of two vectors which gives a scalar quantity . here the product is represented by a . ..hence its name dot product .
vectorA . vectorB = AB cos(theta) .
ex : W = vectorF . vector S ( work which is a scalar qty is the product of force and displacement ) ...
CROSS PRODUCT : the cross product of two vectors is defined as the vector whose magnitude is equal to product of magnitudes of the two vectors and sine of the angle between them . here product is represented by X ( cross ) ...
vector A X vectorB = AB sin (theta) ncap
ncap is the arbitrary direction
ex : vector torque = vector r X vector F
Hope it helps!☺️
