Generation

# First Law of Thermodynamics **Precise Statement:** The change in internal energy of a system equals the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system: ΔU = Q - W **Why It Matters:** This law establishes that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted between forms—making it the foundation of energy conservation. It explains why perpetual motion machines are impossible and governs everything from engine efficiency to metabolism, allowing us to predict and calculate energy transformations in all physical and chemical processes.
