Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Basic Concepts and Types of Vectors

  • Vector: A quantity having both magnitude and direction, represented as →AB or →a
  • Scalar: A quantity having only magnitude (mass, time, temperature)
  • Vector representation: Directed line segment with initial and terminal points
2

2. Vector Addition and Subtraction

  • Triangle Law: →a + →b = →c where vectors form a triangle
  • Parallelogram Law: Diagonal represents sum of adjacent sides
  • Vector addition is commutative: →a + →b = →b + →a
3

3. Scalar Multiplication and Linear Combinations

  • Scalar multiplication: k→a changes magnitude by factor |k|
  • If k > 0, direction remains same; if k < 0, direction reverses
  • Distributive laws: k(→a + →b) = k→a + k→b and (k + m)→a = k→a + m→a

4. Section Formula and Position Vectors

  • Section formula gives position vector of point dividing line segment
  • Internal division: Point P divides AB in ratio m:n internally
  • External division: Point P divides AB in ratio m:n externally
