MCQ
If a vector $\vec A$ is parallel to another vector $\vec B$ then the resultant of the vector $\vec A \times \vec B$ will be equal to
- A$A$
- B$\vec A$
- ✓Zero vector
- DZero
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Zero vector
c
(c) $\overrightarrow A \times \overrightarrow B = AB\sin \theta \,\hat n$
(c) $\overrightarrow A \times \overrightarrow B = AB\sin \theta \,\hat n$
for parallel vectors $\theta = 0^\circ $ or $180^\circ $, $\sin \theta = 0$
$\therefore $ $\overrightarrow A \times \overrightarrow B = \hat 0$
