Principle of conservation of angular momentum
If the total external torque in a system is zero, its angular momentum remains constant.
Angular momentum of a particle about a point O is defined as
l = r × p
where
p = linear momentum
r = position vector of the particle from the given point O.
The angular momentum of a system of particles is the vector sum of the angular momenta of the particles of the system.
