alleryA vector whose magnitude is one unit is called a:
AFree vector
BUnit vector
CZero vector
DNull vector
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Unit vector
1. Unity means one, so the magnitude of such a vector is 1.
2. A vector of magnitude one unit is called a unit vector.
3. The unit vector along a is written with a hat above the letter.
