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

unity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

According to law of conservation of angular momentum, if the net torque acting on the body is zero, then the total angular momentum of the body is constant.
