The following are important identities in vector algebra. Identities that only involve the magnitude of a vector ‖ A ‖ {\displaystyle \|\mathbf {A} \|} and the dot product (scalar product) of two vectors A·B, apply to vectors in any dimension, while identities that use the cross product (vector product) A×B only apply in three dimensions, since the cross product is only defined there.
