Dear Student
Linear momentum = mass * velocity
Similar to this, angular momentum = angular mass (moment of inertia) * angular velocity
So, L = I ω
Differentiating this with respect to time, dL / dt = d (I ω) / dt
Moment of inertia is irrespective of the time. Only angular velocity is dependent upon time.
So, dL / dt = I dω/dt
Change of angular velocity with time = angular acceleration.
So, dL / dt = I α
But torque = I α (SeeVishakh Rajendran's answer to What is the relationship between torque and angular acceleration?)
torque = I α = dL / dt
the rate of change of angular momentum = Torque acting on the body
Thanks
