Question

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed i.e. the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; however, it transforms from one form to another. The same phenomena applies when we burn a candle, chemical energy of wax is spent and converted to light energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant—it is said to be conserved over time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another. For example when we burn a candle, chemical energy of wax is spent and converted to light energy.
