Find the locus of a point P whose position vector r satisfies r.a = 0, where a is a constant non-zero vector.
Find the locus of a point P whose position vector r satisfies r.a = 0, where a is a constant non-zero vector.
- A. A sphere
- B. A line
- C. A plane passing through the origin
- D. A cone
Answer: C) A plane passing through the origin
Explanation: The equation r.a = 0 represents all position vectors r that are perpendicular to a constant vector a. This forms a plane passing through the origin, with 'a' as its normal vector.
