Lecture

Vector Product in Physics

Description

This lecture covers the vector product in physics, explaining how to multiply two vectors to obtain a new vector, the properties of the resulting vector, and its applications in determining areas and directions in 3D space. The instructor discusses the cross product, its calculation, properties, and the right-hand rule. Additionally, the lecture explores the geometric interpretation of the vector product, including the area of a parallelogram and the smallest rotation needed to align two vectors. Various examples are provided to illustrate the concepts.
