Relevant Equations:

see here: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/243142/what-is-the-general-formula-for-calculating-dot-and-cross-products-in-spherical

I should use the cross product but I don´t know how. I tried to calculate it but it didn´t work out as expected. Please can you give me one example how to do it ?

You should see from the diagrams on this page that $\hat r, \hat \phi, \hat \theta$ forms a right-handed orthonormal basis at every point. Or, should that be $\hat r, \hat \theta, \hat \phi$?

I have to admit. I don't even know what this means.
