Question

What is Scalar product of vectors? Explain its Characteristics as well.​

Answer 1

SCALAR PRODUCT OR DOT PRODUCT OF TWO VECTORS. If the product of two vectors is a SCALAR, then it is called SCALAR product . ... This is also rendered as inner or direct product. The SCALAR product of two vectors is a SCALAR which is equal to the product of magnitude of the two vectors and the cousin and angle between them.

Answer 2

The product of two vectors which gives scalar quantity is called scalar product of vectors.

=> Scalar product of two vectors A⃗⃗ and B⃗ is represented as A⃗ .B⃗ = AB cosθ

=> It is also called dot product.

=> Scalar product of two perpendicular vectors is zero.
