Conservation of Energy Law

 

Energy in a system may take on various forms (e.g. kinetic, potential, heat, light).

The law of conservation of energy states that energy may neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore the sum of all the energies in the system is a constant.

The total energy is neither decreased nor increased in any process

It can be transformed from one form to another, and transferred from one object to another, but the totla amount remains constant.
