First law of thermodynamics MCQ

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about multiple-choice questions (MCQs) related to the first law of thermodynamics, which may involve concepts such as energy conservation, internal energy, and thermodynamic processes.

Answer

Energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system.

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system.

Answer for screen readers

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system.

More Information

The first law of thermodynamics is basically a statement of energy conservation. It implies that the total energy in the universe remains constant; it can neither be created nor destroyed but can change forms, such as from thermal to mechanical energy.

Tips

A common mistake is to confuse the first law with other laws of thermodynamics. It is specifically about the conservation and transformation of energy, not about entropy or absolute zero.
