FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a cross product?
The cross product of two vectors is a vector that is perpendicular to both of them and thus normal to the plane containing them.
How is it calculated?
For vectors A = (Ax, Ay, Az) and B = (Bx, By, Bz), the cross product C = A × B is calculated as: Cx = AyBz - AzBy, Cy = AzBx - AxBz, Cz = AxBy - AyBx.
Where is the cross product used?
It is widely used in physics and engineering for calculating torque, magnetic force, and the normal vector to a surface.
