Total angular momentum of a rotating bod...

Total angular momentum of a rotating body remains constant, if the net torque acting on the body is

A

zero

B

maximum

C

minimum

D

unit

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
If external torque, `tau_("ext")=0`, then
Angular momentum is conserved, i.e., `L_(1)=L_(2)`.
