The Law of Conservation of Energy

  • The total amount of energy in the universe is conserved.
  • There is a certain total amount of energy in the universe, and this total never changes.
  • New energy cannot be created out of nothing; and existing energy cannot disappear.
  • The energy that exists can only be changed from one form into another.
  • When an energy transformation occurs, no energy is lost.

Energy Transformations

The change of one form or type of energy into another.
