Q116 / 155 · WBJEE 2024 · Physics

Let $\theta$ be the angle between two vectors $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$. If $\hat{a}_{\perp}$ is the unit vector perpendicular to $\vec{A}$, then the direction of $\vec{B}-B \sin \theta \hat{a}_{\perp}$ is

  • A
    along $\vec{B}$
  • B
    perpendicular to $\vec{B}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    along $\vec{A}$
  • D
    perpendicular to $\vec{A}$

Solution

Figure
$\vec{B}-B \sin \theta \hat{a}_{\perp}$ is along $\vec{A}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
