Find a vector normal to a plane consisting of points p1(0,1,0), p2(1,0,1) and p3(0,0,1)(a) –j – k(b) –i – j(c) –i – k(d) –i – j – kThe question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.This is a very interesting question from Position and Distance Vectors topic in chapter Vector Analysis and Applications of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer» CORRECT answer is (a) –j – k

The explanation is: Distance vector from p1 and P2 is a = i – j + k. Distance vector from p1 and p3 is B = –j + k. The vector NORMAL to these points is a X b = -j – k.
