A ceiling fan is rotating around a fixed axle as shown. The direction of angular velocity is along
- \( +j \)
- \( -j \)
- \( +k \)
- \( -k \)
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
To determine the direction of angular velocity, we use the right-hand rule. If the fan is rotating counterclockwise, the angular velocity vector points along the negative \( k \)-axis, indicating the direction of rotation.
