The torque `vec tau` on a body about a given point is found to be equal to `vec A xx vec L` where `vec A` is a constant vector and `vec L` is the angular momentum of the body about the point. From this its follows that -

A

`(dvecL)/(dt)` is perpendicular to `vecL` at all instant of time

B

The component of `vecL` in the direction of `vecA` does not change with time

C

The magnitude of `vecL` does not change with time

D

`vecL` does not change with time

The torque tau on a body about a given point is found to be equal to A x L, where A is constant vector and L is the angular momentum of the body that point. From this, it follows that

Torque (vec tau) acting on a rigid body is defined as vec tau = vec A xx vec L , where vec A is a constant vector and vec L is angular momentum of the body. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the body remains same. vec tau is perpendicular to vec L and hence torque does not deliver any power to the body.
