1. Electric Charges and Fields
hard
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
(IIT-2009)
Solution
The correct option is $A$ The angular momentum of the charge $- q$ is constant Given that a charge $- q$ mover under the influence of a coulombic field of charge $+ A$. The charge $- q$ moves in an elliptical orbit. Therefore, the angular momentum of the charge $- q$ about charge $+ A$ is constant, since the torque on the charge is zero.
