Question

The vector product of two vectors is a vector whose direction is given by ______.

Options

• Left hand thumb rule.

• Right hand screw rule.

• Fleming's left hand rule.

• Biot-Savart's rule.

Answer 1

The vector product of two vectors is a vector whose direction is given by Right hand screw rule.

Explanation:

The direction of the vector product \[\vec A\] × \[\vec B\] is determined by the right hand screw rule, if a screw is rotated from \[\vec A\] towards \[\vec B\], the direction in which the screw advances gives the direction of the resultant vector.
