If is a unit vector perpendicular to the vectors and , write another unit vector perpendicular to and.

We know that cross product of two vectors gives us a vector which is perpendicular to both the vectors. And keeping in mind that is a Unit vector we get the equation –


(Vector divided its magnitude gives unit vector)


is perpendicular to and


Thus, is another unit vector perpendicular to


Alternative Solution –


Since is perpendicular to , any unit vector parallel/anti-parallel to will be perpendicular to .
