Question

Statement 1: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

Statement 2: Energy cannot be converted from one form to another.

• A. Only statement​ 1 is correct.
• B. Only statement​ 2 is correct.
• C. Both statements are correct.
• D. Neither of the statements is correct.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only statement​ 1 is correct.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. However, it can be converted from one form to another. E.g. an electric heater converts electric energy into heat energy; an electric bulb converts electrical energy into light energy; a turbine converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, etc. Many such phenomena exist around us in which energy is converted from one form to another.
