THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

THE LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY -
Energy is an important one for us to live with. It not only increases out productivity power but also conservation of energy as well.
In the previous lesson we have discussed mechanical energy. We have seen that it can be classified into two distinct categories : one based on motion, namely kinetic energy; the other on configuration (position), namely potential energy. Energy comes in many a forms which transform into one another in ways which may not often be clear to us.

Law of Conservation of Energy Statement

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that "the total energy of an isolated system is conserved or said to be constant over time". It can also be said that "energy cannot be created or destroyed , but it can be transformed from one form to another form".

Following the major factor for conservation of Energy

  • Heat
  • Chemical Energy
  • Electrical Energy
  • The Equivalence of Mass and Energy
  • Nuclear Energy
I hope that i have helped you on understanding all about conservation of energy. let me also help you go through about The Principle of Conservation of Energy in the following lesson. keep reading and keep in touch with your valuable comments.
