18 Lecture 18: Central forces and angular momentum
... namely, that for any central potential, angular momentum is a constant of motion. Note that the origin of this conservation law is the fact that the problem has spherical symmetry. Rotation around the origin leaves the potential invariant, implying the conservation of angular momentum. In particular ...
