Unit Vector
• A unit vector a along A is defined as a vector whose magnitude is
unity (i.e., 1) and its direction is along A

Sourabh Ghosh, Dronacharya Group of Institutions

Vector Magnitude
• One dimensional space
• Two-dimensional space
• Three-dimensional space

• Unit vector along A, in 3D space

Sourabh Ghosh, Dronacharya Group of Institutions

Vector Addition and Subtraction
• Suppose we have 2 vectors in 3D space, A and B
• Addition
• Subtraction

Sourabh Ghosh, Dronacharya Group of Institutions

Graphical Vector Addition and Subtraction
• Graphically, vector addition and subtraction are obtained by either
the Parallelogram rule or the Head-to-Tail rule

Sourabh Ghosh, Dronacharya Group of Institutions

Vector Multiplication of Two Vectors
• Dot product of two vectors gives Scalar result.

• Cross product of two vectors gives Vector result.
