Class 12 Mathematics Chapter 10 Vectors – Revision Notes

Quick revision notes for Class 12 Maths Chapter 10 (Vectors). These Class 12 Mathematics Chapter 10 notes are ideal for quick revision just before exams.

Basics

  • |a|=√(a1²+a2²+a3²); unit vector=a/|a|.
  • Section formula: (mb+na)/(m+n).

Products

  • Dot product: a·b=|a||b|cosθ; perpendicular ⇔ dot=0.
  • Cross product: a×b=|a||b|sinθ &ncirc;; parallel ⇔ cross=0.
  • Triangle area=½|a×b|.

One-Line Summary

Vectors combine magnitude and direction; dot product relates to cosθ (perpendicularity test), cross product relates to sinθ (parallelism test and area computation).
