A particle undergoes uniform circular motion. About which point on the plane of the circle, will the angular momentum of the particle remain conserved?

Options

A. centre of the circle
B. on the circumference of the circle
C. Inside the circle
D. Outside the circle

Answer

A

Explanation

In uniform circular motion, centripetal force acts towards the centre . Torque due to such a force about the centre is zero. Hence angular momentum is conserved about the centre of the circle.
