Definition

A vector quantity whose magnitude is zero is referred to as a zero vector.


Also known as

A zero vector is also seen referred to as:

  • the null vector.
  • the trivial vector
  • the neutral element.

The term origin is sometimes seen, but this has a more precise definition in the context of analytic geometry, and so its use is not recommended here.
