Right.krot said:they say that the magnetic field is paralel
to the plane
What's the direction of the magnetic moment?so cross product is 0 (sin 0 =0)
This is incorrect. See: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/magnetic/magmom.html"krot said:from the solution i see that the magnetic moment is a scalar
it doesn't have a direction
Yes.krot said:ok so i go by the right hand rule as the current flows
to determine the direction of moment dipole
The cross product is a mathematical operation that takes two vectors and produces a new vector perpendicular to both of the original vectors. It is denoted by the symbol "x" or "×".
The cross product and the dot product are both operations on vectors, but they produce different results. The dot product results in a scalar (a single number), while the cross product results in a vector.
The cross product has many practical applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and computer graphics. Examples include calculating torque in mechanics, determining the direction of magnetic fields, and creating 3D models in computer graphics.
No, the cross product can only be performed on two vectors in three-dimensional space. It is not possible to take the cross product of two vectors in two-dimensional space or in higher dimensions.
The cross product is calculated using the following formula:
a x b = [aybz - azby, azbx - axbz, axby - aybx]
where a and b are the two vectors and the resulting vector is perpendicular to both a and b.
