Conservation of Energy
Summary
- Energy Transformations
- Energy can change from one form to another.
- Conservation of Energy
- A decrease in one form of energy will result in an increase in another form of energy of equal magnitude.
ΔE1 = −ΔE2
- The total energy of a closed system is a constant.
∑Ef = ∑Ei = constant
- Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
