Question

If energy is always conserved in a chemical or physical process then why is there an energy crisis?

• A. Energy is getting lost in the universe.
• B. Energy is dissipated from more usable form to less usable form.
• C. Energy is getting destroyed.
• D. Energy can never be tranformed.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Energy is dissipated from more usable form to less usable form.

The law of conservation of energy states that, the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. Rather, it can only be transformed from one form to another. So it is just converted from the form that we can use to a less usable form. This will cause the energy crisis.
