A vector is along positive y-axis and its vector product with another vector is zero; then vector could be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Given that vector is along the positive y-axis, we can write where .
The vector product of and is zero, which means .
For the cross product of two non-zero vectors to be zero, the vectors must be parallel or anti-parallel to each other. This implies that must also be directed along the y-axis.
Therefore, must be of the form .
Among the given options, is the only vector along the y-axis.
