NEET Physics Angular Momentum Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The angular momentum of a system of particles is conserved if no external torque acts on it.
Reason (R): According to Newton's third law, the forces between two colliding particles are equal and opposite, resulting in no net torque.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as per the principle of conservation of angular momentum. The reason is true by Newton's third law, but it does not explain angular momentum conservation, which is about external torques.
