Total angular momentum of a rotating body is conserve, if the net torque acting on the body is

A

net external force is applied

B

net external torque is applied

C

net pressure is applied

D

net external torque is not applied .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When the next external torque acting on a system is zero , the total angular momentum of the system remains constant. Therefore the angular momentum of a moving body remains constant if net external torque is not applied.
