NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): The dot product of two vectors is a scalar quantity. | Reason (R): The dot product of two vectors depends on the angle between them.
A
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The dot product of two vectors results in a scalar because it is defined as the product of their magnitudes and the cosine of the angle between them, which is consistent with the NCERT context describing the scalar nature and angle dependence of the dot product.
