Question Protected by tpg2114

weWe can define cross products mathematically like if we take two vectors then, we can find another vector with certain properties but why do we use it in physics, if we consider a hypothetical physical quantity like a force which is equal to cross product of certain vectors (example force on a charge in motion in an uniform magnetic field ) why?

For example, the force exerted on a charge in motion in an uniform magnetic field.

Why is it so? whyWhy does that force have to be a cross product of two vectors?Is

Is it possible to come up with them when what we do is just observe the nature?then how?
