Question

Explain vector product of two vector and state their characteristics.

Answer 1

The vector product of two vectors a and b is given by a vector whose magnitude is given by a $.$

Note that the direction of the resultant vector is denoted by unit vector $\hat{n}$ whose direction is perpendicular to both the vectors a and b in a way that a$,$ b and $\hat{n}$ are oriented in right$-$handed system$.$
