Question

What is the primary difference between angular momentum and torque?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Angular momentum (L = Iω) is a measure of rotational motion, while torque (τ = r×F) is the cause of rotational change. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Angular momentum measures rotational motion, torque causes it. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
