Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following describes the law of conservation of energy?
A
Energy increases when it is transferred
B
When energy is conserved, it always changes form
C
Energy can only be released through transformation
D
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed-only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it’s added from the outside.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed, although it can be changed from one form to another.

Detailed explanation-3: -First law of thermodynamics states that total energy of an isolated system is constant, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct option is ‘Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but it can change from one energy form to another’.

Detailed explanation-5: -1 First law of thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics is based on the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be transferred from one form to another.
