• ID Code: A2-23
  • Purpose: Illustrate the product of two vectors
  • Description: The directions of the two vectors A and B, along with their vector product AxB can be illustrated using the model. The cross product can be adjusted in length, but not reduced to zero; its minimum length is shown in the photograph above. This is particularly valuable for understanding concepts such as torque or the Lorentz force.
