MCQ
A particle undergoes uniform circular motion.  About which point on the plane of the circle, will the angular momentum of the particle remain conserved
  • Centre of the circle
  • B
     On the circumference of the circle
  • C
    Inside the circle
  • D
    Outside the circle

Answer

Correct option: A.
Centre of the circle
a
The net force acting on a particle undergoing uniform circular motion is centripetal force which always passes through the centre of the circle. The torque due to this

force about the centre si zero, therfore, $L$ is conserved about $O.$
