Unit vectors are essential in vector calculus for expressing the gradient, divergence, and curl of vector fields.
A unit vector is often employed in mathematics to define orthonormal bases and to describe geometric transformations.
To describe the direction of a force in physics, we often use a unit vector representing the direction without considering the magnitude.
The electric field at a point due to a charged particle can be expressed as a vector quantity using a unit vector to represent direction.
