If the magnitude of sum of two vectors is equal to the magnitude of difference of the two vector, the angle between these Vector is

A

`0^(@)`

B

`90(@)`

C

`45^(@)`

D

` 180^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2
`|vecA+ vecB| = |vecA- vec|`
`rArr A^(2) + B^(2) + 2AB cos theta = A^(2) + B^(2) - 2AB cos theta `
`rArr cos theta = 0 rArr theta = 90^(@)`
