What is the difference between angular momentum and orbital angular momentum

Answers (1)

best_answer

Angular momentum can be regarded as the broader term, whereas orbital angular momentum is just a specific type of angular momentum.

In classical physics, there is only angular momentum. It is a conserved quantity that is related to movement, rotations, etc. (without going too much into technicalities).
