Worked practice questions

The **angular momentum** of a particle of momentum $\vec p$ at position $\vec r$ (from origin) is:

  1. $\vec p \cdot \vec r$
  2. $\vec r \times \vec p$
  3. $\vec p \times \vec r$
  4. $|\vec r||\vec p|$ always
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. $\vec r \times \vec p$

$\vec L = \vec r \times \vec p$ (right-hand rule). Note $\vec r \times \vec p = -\vec p \times \vec r$, order matters.
