Angular momentum of the particle rotating with a central force is constant due to :

A

Constant linear momentum

B

Zero Torue

C

Constant Torque

D

Constant Force

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Here the torque constituted by the central force directed towards the centre at every point of uniform circular motion is zero.
`therefore tau=0` or `(dL)/(dt)=0` or L is constant
