AIIMS2005PhysicsRotational Motion
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
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
When external torque acting on the system is zero then only the total angular mom entum of system is considered to be conserved. If L=I = constant , =I =0 . = d d t =0 for constant .
