A particle undergoes uniform circular motion. About which point on the plane of the circle, will the angular momentum of the particle remain conserved?

A

centre of the circle

B

on the circumference of the circle

C

inside the circle

D

outside the circle

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

In U.C.M., only centripetal force facts on the particle. The torque of the centripetal force about the centre is zero. Hence the angular momentum about the centre is conserved.
