MCQ
A particle moves in a circular path with decreasing speed. Choose the correct statement.
  • A
    Angular momentum remains constant
  • B
    Acceleration ($\vec a$) is towards the center
  • C
    Particle moves in a spiral path with decreasing radius
  • The direction of angular momentum remains constant

Answer

Correct option: D.
The direction of angular momentum remains constant
d
(d) Angular momentum is a axial vector. It is directed always in a fix direction (perpendicular to the plane of rotation either outward or inward), if the sense of rotation remain same.

Eels are able to generate current with biological cells called electroplaques. The electroplaques in an eel are arranged in $100$ rows, each row stretching horizontally along the body of the fish containing $5000$ electroplaques. The arrangement is suggestively shown below. Each electroplaques has an emf of $0.15\, V$ and internal resistance of $0.25 \,\Omega$ The water surrounding the eel completes a circuit between the head and its tail. If the water surrounding it has a resistance of $500 \,\Omega$, the current an eel can produce in water is about  .............. $A$
