Technically, determinants are defined only in terms of arrays of real numbers. However, the determinant notation provides a useful mnemonic device for the cross product formula.RULE: CROSS PRODUCT CALCULATED BY A DETERMINANT Let u=⟨u1,u2,u3⟩u=⟨u1,u2,u3⟩ and v=⟨v1,v2,v3⟩v=...

Then their cross product $\vec{a} \times \vec{b}$ is defined $\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = (a_2b_3-a_3b_2)i + (a_3b_1-a_1b_3)j+(a_1b_2-a_2b_1)k$ Example 2: This is obtained by the following LaTeX code: % determinant form \begin{align*} \vec{a} \times \vec...
Definition of the Cross Product of Vectors We first define the cross product of the unit vectors i, j and k (vectors of magnitude 1 that point in the x-, y- and z-component directions of the standard Cartesian coordinate system) as follows: \bo...

The cross product is also given by the determinant:i j k Ax Ay Az Bx By Bzwhere: i,j & k are unit vectors in the x,y and z dimensions.Important Issues We must be careful, when doing vector algebra with cross multiplication, because we can't use the usual rules:Vector...
As explained below, the cross product can be expressed in the form of a determinant of a special 3×3 matrix. According to Sarrus' rule, this involves multiplications between matrix elements identified by crossed diagonals. Computing the cross product Coordinate notation The standard basis vectors ...

Rearranging vectors in the triple products is equivalent to reordering the rows in the matrix of the determinant. Let u=u1i+u2j+u3ku=u1i+u2j+u3k, v=v1i+v2j+v3kv=v1i+v2j+v3k, and w=w1i+w2j+w3kw=w1i+w2j+w3k. Applying Theorem: Calculating a Triple Scalar Product, we have ...
Hi guyz, I have a small question, In spherical coordinates if we define 2 vectors such as magnetization of a shell M(r,phi,theta) and the magnetic field H(r,phi,theta) As we know the cross product between them is written in the determinant: (Capital means unit vectors) det[(R,r.....
