The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. It can only be transferred or transformed from one form to another. This law is based on the principle of energy conservation, which states that the total energy of a closed system remains constant over time. According to the first law, the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system on its surroundings.
