If no external torque acts on a body, will its angular velocity remain conserved ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When `tau = 0, L = I omega =` constant.
`:.` Angular velocity `omega` will be constant so long as `I` remains constant i.e. if moment of inertia of the body about the given axis remains fixed.
