AIIMS 2004 Physics Angular Momentum MCQ Question
In an orbital motion, the angular momentum vector is
along the radius vector
parallel to the linear momentum
in the orbital plane
perpendicular to the orbital plane
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In orbital motion, the angular momentum vector is perpendicular to the plane in which the rotational motion take place and its sense is given by the right hand fist rule. When the fingers of right hand fist point in the direction of motion, the thumb is in the direction of L (angular momentum).
