Which law of thermodynamics is used to understand the concept of energy conservation ?

  • A.Zeroth law
  • B.First law
  • C.Second law
  • D.Third law

Answer: B

Energy conservation is expressed by the first law of thermodynamics.

The first law states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another. For a closed system the change in internal energy equals the heat added minus the work done by the system:

\[ \Delta U = Q - W \]

The zeroth law defines thermal equilibrium and temperature, the second law concerns entropy and the direction of natural processes, and the third law concerns entropy as temperature approaches absolute zero.
