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

at the 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

We known `(dvecL)/(dt)=tau`
In uniform circular motion the torque about the centre of circle is ZERO. Therefore, L = constant.
