Explain Cartesian components of angular momentum of a particle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By definition of angular momentum
`vecl=vecrxxvecp`
`=|(hati,hatj,hatk),(x,y,z),(P_(x),P_(y),P_(z))|`
`=hati[yPz-zPy]+hatj[zPx-xPz]+hatk[xPy-yPx]....(1)`
`therefore vecl=l_(x)hati+l_(y)hatj+l_(z)hatk`
Here `l_(x),l_(y)andl_(z)` are the components of `vecl` along X, Y and Z axis respectively.
