Problem

Use the relevant definition and the result that r\mathbf{r} is a polar vector to determine whether the following vectors are polar or axial: (a) velocity u\mathbf{u}, (b) linear momentum p\mathbf{p}, (c) force F\mathbf{F}, (d) electric field E\mathbf{E}, (e) magnetic field B\mathbf{B} and (f) E×B\mathbf{E} \times \mathbf{B}. (Assume that time, mass and charge are invariant quantities).
