Know The Distinction Between Scalar And Vector Product !

Previously we've talked about Difference between a scalar and vector quantity. Now here in this post I'll talk about distinction between scalar product and vector product. If you read this short post then hopefully you'll understand this.

So here goes the distinction between scalar product and vector product...

Scalar Product

1. The result of the scalar product of two vectors is a scalar quantity.
2. The magnitude of the scalar product is equal to the product of their magnitudes and cosine of the angle between them.
3. The scalar product obeys the commutative law of multiplication.
4. Scalar product of two mutually perpendicular vectors is zero. 

Vector Product

1. The result of a vector product is a vector quantity.
2. The magnitude of the vector product is equal to the product of their magnitudes and sine of the angle between them.
3. The vector product does not obey the commutative rules of multiplication.
4. Vector product of two parallel vectors is Zero.

So, hopefully the topic is clear to you now. If you have any question regarding this then feel free to comment below.
