If $\hat i,\hat j$ and $\hat k$ are unit vectors along the co-ordinate axes OX, OY and OZ respectively, then (A) $\hat i×\hat j = \hat k$ Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A) and (B) only (B), (C) and (D) only (B) and (D) only (A), (C) and (D) only |
(A), (C) and (D) only |
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A), (C) and (D) only (A) $\hat i×\hat j = \hat k$ Given unit vectors î, ĵ, and k̂ along OX, OY, and OZ: (A) î × ĵ = k̂ → True (using right-hand rule) (B) k̂ × î = −ĵ → False, since k̂ × î = ĵ (C) ĵ · ĵ = 1 → True (dot product of unit vector with itself is 1) (D) ĵ · k̂ = 0 → True (dot product of perpendicular vectors is 0) |
