Under the influence of the coulomb field of charge \(+Q\), a charge \(-q\) is moving around it in an elliptical orbit. Find out the correct statement(s).
- A The angular momentum of the charge \(-q\) is constant
- B The linear momentum of the charge \(-q\) is constant
- C The angular velocity of the charge \(-q\) is constant
- D The linear speed of the charge \(-q\) is constant
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) The angular momentum of the charge \(-q\) is constant
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Net torque on \((-q\) ) about a point (say \(P\) ) lying over \(+Q\) is zero. Therefore, angular momentum of \((-q)\) about point \(P\) should remain constant.
