Question

Explain vector product of two vectors.

Open in App
Solution

The vector or cross product of two vectors yields a vector quantity.
If we have two vectors A and B, their vector product is given by a vector C that is perpendicular to both A and B, with a direction given by the right-hand rule and the magnitude is
|A×B|=|A||B|sinθ
Here, |A| is the magnitude of A.
|B| is the magnitude of B.
θ is the angle between A and B.
