Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation:

Expanding this, we have:

Let
. Substituting this into the equation, we get:

Now, we take the dot product of both sides with
:

Since the dot product
is zero (the
dot product of any vector with the cross product of itself with another vector is zero), we have:

Thus, the magnitude of
is:
