cross product of 2 vectors??


|| = ??

cross product?

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Is that supposed to be a modulus?
If so, then AxB = ABsin(theta) = C, where C is perpendicular to both vectors A and B.
Then |AxB| = |C| = magnitude of the vector C.

Or have I been reading waaaay too much electromagnetics?

 

[Heisenberg]

It probably means the magnitude of the cross product of A and B.
