Example: B and vecC are component of dotA,|C|> |A|

Q. The component of a vector is

Always less than its magnitude

Always greater than its magnitude

Always equal to its magnitude

May be greater than its magnitude

The magnitude of component of a vector $A$ can be greater than vector itself but rectangular component is less than or equal to vector magnitude.
Example: $B$ and $C$ are component of $\dot{A}, ∣ C ∣ >$ $∣ A ∣$
