Information about Angular Speed
In physics (specifically mechanics and electrical engineering), angular frequency ω (also referred to by the terms angular speed, radial frequency, and radian frequency) is a scalar measure of rotation rate. Angular frequency is the magnitude of the vector quantity angular velocity. The term angular frequency vector 
is sometimes used as a synonym for the vector quantity angular velocity .
In SI units, angular frequency is measured in radians per second, with dimensions t−1 since radians are dimensionless.
One revolution is equal to 2π radians, hence
where
Angular frequency is therefore a simple multiple of ordinary frequency. However, using angular frequency is often preferable in many applications, as it avoids the excessive appearance of
. In fact, it is used in many fields of physics involving periodic phenomena, such as quantum mechanics and electrodynamics.
For example:
Using 'ordinary' revolutions-per-second frequency, this equation would be:
Another often encountered expression when dealing with small oscillations is:
where
Angular frequency inside an LC circuit can also be defined as the inverse of the square root of the capacitance (measured in farads), times the inductance of the circuit (in henrys).
