Energy is the capacity of a system to do work. It can be transferred or converted from one form to another, such as from heat to mechanical work. In nature, energy is neither created nor destroyed, but it can change forms based on the laws of thermodynamics.
True
Energy can only be transformed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed according to the principle of conservation of energy.
Energy that is not stored is usually converted into kinetic energy, such as in the form of motion or heat energy. This can happen when potential energy is released by an object falling or when chemical energy in a fuel source is being burned.
When energy transformations occur, energy is never created or destroyed. Instead, it simply changes from one form to another, such as from potential energy to kinetic energy or from electrical energy to thermal energy. This principle is known as the law of conservation of energy.
When a battery is used, chemical energy stored in the battery is converted to electrical energy that powers the device it is connected to. This electrical energy is then converted into other forms of energy depending on the device, such as light, heat, or kinetic energy.
