How to find the Cross Product of two Vectors?
The Cross product of vector A and B is defined as a vector such that
- the magnitude is ab \sin \theta , Where \theta is the angle between A and B
- Its direction is perpendicular to the plane of A and B
- A right-handed system is formed with A and B
Let N be the unit vector normal to the plane of A and B (Where N, A, B are forming a right-handed system)
Then,
A \times B =ab \sin \theta NProperties of Cross Products
-Vector product of two vectors is not commutative
A \times B \neq B \times AAs a matter of fact, A \times B = -B \times A
-When the two vectors A and B are parallel to each other and the angle \theta is 0 or 180° So that Sin \theta = 0, and A \times B
An analytical expression for the vector product. (I,J,K be the Orthonormal Vectors )
If,
A=a_{1}I+a_{2}J+a_{3}K & B=b_{1}I+b_{2}J+b_{3}KThen,
A \times B= \begin{pmatrix}I& J&K\\ a_{1}& a_{2}&a_{3} \\b_{1}& b_{2}&b_{3} \end{pmatrix}So, we get
A \times B = (a_{2}b_{3}-a_{3}b_{2})I+(a_{3}b_{1}-a_{1} b_{3})J+(a_{1}b_{2}-a_{2}b_{1})K-Vector product of two vectors is distributive
A \times B \times C = A \times C + B \times CExample1: The Cross product of A=(1,2,3) and B=(4,5,6)
Solution Example:
A \times B = (a_{2}b_{3}-a_{3}b_{2})I+(a_{3}b_{1}-a_{1} b_{3})J+(a_{1}b_{2}-a_{2}b_{1})K I=a_{2}b_{3}-a_{3}b_{2}=2 \times 6-3 \times 5=12-15=-3 J=a_{3}b_{1}-a_{1} b_{3}=3 \times 4-1 \times 6=12-6=6 K= a_{1}b_{2}-a_{2}b_{1}=1 \times 5-2 \times 4=5-8=-3So, the cross product of A \times B= (-3,6,-3)
