𝐴ҧ ∙ 𝐵ത = 𝐴𝐵 cos 𝜃𝐴𝐵
22
1.5.2 Scalar or Dot Product
(Cont.)
O The result of 𝐴ҧ ∙ 𝐵
ത is called either the scalar product
because it results into a scalar quantity, or the dot product
due to the dot sign.
O If 𝐴ҧ = 𝐴𝑥 , 𝐴𝑦 , 𝐴𝑧 and 𝐵
ത = 𝐵𝑥 , 𝐵𝑦 , 𝐵𝑧 , then
𝐴ҧ ∙ 𝐵ത = 𝐴𝑥 𝐵𝑥 + 𝐴𝑦 𝐵𝑦 + 𝐴𝑧 𝐵𝑧

𝐴ҧ × 𝐵ത = 𝐴𝐵 sin 𝜃𝐴𝐵 𝑛ො
𝐴ҧ × 𝐵ത = −𝐵ത × 𝐴ҧ 𝐴ҧ × 𝐵ത + 𝐶ҧ = 𝐴ҧ × 𝐵ത + 𝐴ҧ × 𝐶ҧ
