NEET2019PhysicsRotational MotionActual
Assertion : For a system of particles under central force field, the total angular momentum is conserved. Reason : The torque acting on such a system is zero.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
When external torque acting on the system is zero then only the total angular momentum of system is considered to be conserved. = d L d t If =0, d L d t =0 L =I = constant
