    The angular momentum of a system of particles is not conserved :

    A)  when a net external force acts upon the system

    B)  when a net external torque is acting upon the system

    C)  when a net external impulse is acting upon the system

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     By the principle of conservation of angular momentum, when no external torque is acting upon a body rotating about an axis, then the angular momentum of the body remains constant. \[J=I\,\omega =\] constant In our case external torque is acting then angular momentum is not conserved.
