Law of Conservation of Energy

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Energy Transformation

The change of energy from one form to another.

Electrical Energy to Thermal Energy in a Toaster

Electrical Energy is converted into heat energy (thermal energy).

Energy in Oil

Oil stores chemical potential energy originally from sunlight, transforming it into chemical energy through photosynthesis and then animal consumption.
