A vector with magnitude zero is called a

If vec a is a non-zero vector of magnitude ‘a’ and λ a non-zero scalar, then λ vec a is unit vector if λ =1

If vec a is a non-zero vector of magnitude ‘a’ and λ a non-zero scalar, then λ vec a is unit vector if λ = - 1

If vec a is a non-zero vector of magnitude ‘a’ and λ a non-zero scalar, then λ vec a is unit vector if a = 1/ |λ|

If vec a is a non-zero vector of magnitude ‘a’ and λ a non-zero scalar, then λ vec a is unit vector if a = |λ|
