In an orbital motion, the angular momentum vector is:

A

along radius vector

B

perpendicular to orbital plane

C

parallel to linear momentum

D

in the orbital plane.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Angular momentum `vecL=vecr xx vecp`
`therefore ` Direction of `vecL` is perpendicular to orbital plane.
Thus correct choice is (b).
