Question

vector product of two vectors is maximum when two vectors are.....​

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, the maximum value for the cross product occurs when the two vectors are perpendicular to one another, but when the two vectors are parallel to one another the magnitude of the cross product is equal to zero

Answer 2

The vector product of two vectors is maximum when the two vectors are perpendicular.

• Vector product or cross product of two vectors A and B is defined as A×B=ABsinθn̂, where θ is the angle between the vectors A and B & n̂ is a unit vector perpendicular to the plane containing A and B.
• The magnitude of the vector-product is maximum when sinθ is maximum i.e θ=90°.
• This corresponds to the situation when two vectors are perpendicular.
• Hence, the vector product is maximum when the two vectors are perpendicular.
