This law evolved gradually over time, as more types of energy were found to be interchangeable. No single scientist can be credited with the discovery of this law. A special mention should be made of Emily Nöther - today, the Law of Conservation of Energy is derived from Nöther's Theorem. However, the Law was well-known, as an experimental fact, before Nöther's time.

Scientists call this law the law of conservation of matter
The law of Conservation of Energy. Actually, that law has been superceded now by a slightly different one. Recently (maybe 100 years ago) it was learned that energy can become mass and mass can become energy. So the law had to be modified to say that the total combination of mass and energy can't be created or destroyed.
The Law of Conservation of Energy is not the work of a single scientist. The knowledge about this law developed gradually over several centuries, as more and more types of energy were recognized to be equivalent. For example, at some moment somebody recognized that kinetic energy could be converted into potential energy and vice versa, and at another moment, somebody else recognized that mechanical energy could be converted to heat energy at a fixed ratio.
The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.

Law of conservation of energy. Energy can't be created or destroyed is the basic statement of the law of conservation of energy.
That is because the law of conservation of energy states that you can not create new energy.
There are no "laws" of conservation of energy, just the law of conservation of energy. The existence of friction doesn't change anything - the law of conservation of energy still holds.
That is called Conservation of Energy. It is also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics.

No, those are two separate conservation laws. Charge is not energy. They are entirely different things.
