A particle undergoes uniform circular motion. The angular momentum of the particle remain conserved about:

A

inside the circle

B

outside the circie

C

centre of the circle

D

one the circumference of the circle

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In uniform circular motion, centripetal force acts towards the centre. Torque due to such a force about the centre is zero.
Hence angular momentum is conserved about the centre of the circle.
