Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion (A) : For a system of particles under central force field, the total angular momentum is conserved.

Reason (R) : The torque acting on such a system is zero.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

Answer 2

Torque is rate of charge of angular momentum of a body.
