Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the torque can be written as,


\tau=r* F

According to the question total forece,
F=0

This total null force will make the torque zero.

And torque is related to angular momentum as,


\tau=(dL)/(dt)

Here, L is angular momentum.

Now,


(dL)/(dt)-=0\\ L=constant

Therefore, the angular momentum of a particle is conserved when the total force F=0.
