MCQ
$Assertion$ : 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.
  • If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: A.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
a
Under central force field, force acts along the line joining the bodies so it does not have rotatory effect i.e., torque is zero. Hence angular momentum is conservative
