A particle with the position vector r has linear momentum p. Which of the following statements is true is respect of its angular momentum L about the origin ?

A

L acts along p

B

L acts along r

C

L is maximum when p and r are parallel

D

L is maximum when p is perpendicular to r

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
We know that, `L = r xx p`
Angular momentum L is maximum when `p` is perpendicular to r.
