C=AXB cross product vector relations

Drag vector A or B to see how the vector C=AXB changed!
The magnitude of the cross product |C| = |A| |B| sinθ which is equal to the area span by vector A and B =>light gray area shown in the program (also equal to length of the blue arrow).

Let's work together. We can help more users understand physics conceptually and enjoy the fun of learning physics!

Examples of C=AXB
1. F=q v X B: charged particle with charge q , velocity v moves in the magnetic field B.
2. L = r X P: angular momentum L, linear momentum P

You will find many similar relations in physics.
