Question
If $\vec{\text{r}}=\text{x}\hat{\text{i}}+\text{y}\hat{\text{j}}+\text{z}\hat{\text{k}},$ then write the value of $\big|\vec{\text{r}}\times\hat{\text{i}}\big|^2.$
✓

Answer

Given: $\vec{\text{r}}=\text{x}\hat{\text{i}}+\text{y}\hat{\text{j}}+\text{z}\hat{\text{k}}$
Now,
$\vec{\text{i}}=\hat{\text{i}}+0\hat{\text{j}}+0\hat{\text{k}}$
$\vec{\text{r}}\times\vec{\text{i}}=\begin{vmatrix}\hat{\text{i}}&\hat{\text{j}}&\hat{\text{k}}\\\text{x}&\text{y}&\text{z}\\1&0&0 \end{vmatrix}$
$=0\hat{\text{i}}+\text{z}\hat{\text{j}}-\text{y}\hat{\text{k}}$
$\Rightarrow\big|\vec{\text{r}}\times\vec{\text{i}}\big|=\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\big|\vec{\text{r}}\times\vec{\text{i}}\big|^2=\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2$
