The mathematical operation of cross product is performed between
Correct answer: B. Two vector quantities.
- A. Two scalar quantities
- B. Two vector quantities.
- C. One scalar and one numeric value.
- D. One scalar and one vector quantity.
Explanation
The correct answer is option B:two vector quantities.The cross product is a binary operation on two vectors in three-dimensional space, resulting in another vector that is perpendicular to the plane containing the original vectors. The magnitude of the resulting vector is related to the area of the parallelogram formed by the two vectors. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because a cross product cannot be formed with scalars or a combination of scalars and vectors.

About Vector Product
The vector product, or cross product, gives a vector perpendicular to two multiplying vectors, with magnitude AB sin θ and direction set by the right-hand rule. It covers properties such as anti-commutation, area from cross products, torque and angular momentum. Unlike the dot product, its result is a vector.
