In negative of a vector, a vector has same magnitude but _ direction.
Correct answer: C. Opposite
- A. Positive
- B. Negative
- C. Opposite
- D. None of these
Explanation
The negative of a vector is a vector that has the same magnitude as the original vector but points in the opposite direction. This is achieved by multiplying the vector by -1. Therefore, in the negative of a vector, the direction is opposite while the magnitude remains unchanged.

About Vectors and Equilibrium
Vectors have magnitude and direction, unlike scalars, and are combined by head-to-tail or parallelogram methods. Work covers rectangular components, equilibrium when the resultant force is zero, the scalar product for work and projections, and the vector product for torque and cross-product direction using the right-hand rule.
