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.
