NEET Physics Scalar & Vector Products MCQ Question
Consider a diagram where vector A is multiplied by a positive scalar λ, resulting in vector B. Which of the following correctly describes the relationship between vectors A and B?
Vector B has the same direction as vector A and its magnitude is λ times that of A.
Vector B has the opposite direction of vector A and its magnitude is λ times that of A.
Vector B has the same direction as vector A and its magnitude is the same as that of A.
Vector B has a different direction and magnitude than vector A.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Multiplying a vector A with a positive scalar λ results in a vector with the same direction as A and a magnitude of λ times that of A, according to NCERT context.
