Exploring the Law of Conservation of Energy

What does the law of conservation of energy state?

• Energy can only be destroyed, not created.

• Energy is always increasing in the universe.

• Energy can be transformed from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed.

• Energy can be created and destroyed.
