Question

The magnitude of the vectors product of two vectors |vecA| and |vecB| may be

Answer 1

1. Magnitude of vector product of two vectors vec A and vec B is |A| . |B|. sinα.
2. Vector product is also called as the cross product of two vectors.
3. Vector product also has a magnitude and direction just like any other vector.
4. Direction is given by the Right hand Thumb rule and the magnitude can be given by,
5. |A X B| = |A|.|B|.|sinα| where |A| is magnitude of vector A, |B| is magnitude of vector B and α is the smallest angle between the two vectors.
6. Direction of the cross product in perpendicular to the plane in which the two vectors belong.
