NEET Physics Scalar & Vector Products Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The scalar product of two vectors is a scalar quantity.
Reason (R): The scalar product is calculated using the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The scalar product, also known as the dot product, results in a scalar and is given by the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them, as supported by the NCERT context.
