Product of Vectors:
Vector operations are used almost everywhere in the field of physics. Many times these
operations include addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Addition and subtraction can
be performed using the triangle law of vector addition. In the case of products, vector
multiplication can be done in two ways either dot products or vector products. Vector
products give vector as a resultant product after multiplication. In rotational motion,
many quantities are derived using vector products. It becomes essential to understand
the concepts and intuition behind this product. Let’s see this product in detail.
Vector Product Identities:
Examining the vector product identities, including the properties of the cross-product
such as distributivity and anti-commutativity.Understanding the relationships between
the cross-product and the dot product. Analyzing the algebraic properties of the
cross-product operation.

Dot Product:
Consider two vectors and . The scalar product of these two vectors is
defined by the equation,
In case the vectors are given by their components. for example a = a 1i + a2j + a3k and b
= b1i + b2j + b3k. In this case, the dot product is given by,
Vector Product:
Consider two vectors \vec{A} and \vec{B}. The vector product of these twovectors is
The right-hand rule is used to determine the direction of the resulting vector from the
cross-product.
In case the vectors are given by their components. for example a = a 1i + a2j + a3k and b
= b1i + b2j + b3k. In this case, the cross product is given by,
Property 1: Unlike the addition and dot product, the vector product isnot commutative in
nature. .In this case, the magnitude of the both products will
be same but the direction will be completely opposite. This means,
Property 2: The vectors products are distributive in nature with respect to vector
addition. For example,
Some applications of the vector product:
In this section we will look at some ways in which the vector product can be used.
Using the vector product to find a vector perpendicular to two given vectors.
One of the common applications of the vector product is to finding a vector which is
perpendicular. To two given vectors. The two vectors should be non-zero and must not
be parallel.
Conclusion:
Summarizing the significance of the cross- product in mathematical analysis and its
wide- ranging applications. Emphasizing the power of vector products in solving
complex problems. Encouraging further exploration of cross- product in advanced
mathematical contexts.
