It's part of the process. An engine converts energy from one form to another. The power is a measure of how quickly this happens. The efficiency of the engine is defined as the output power divided by the input power (usually as a percentage). Although less power is output than was input, conservation of energy says that the power left over appears in a different, unwanted, form, usually as heat.

What state of law states that after energy conversions you end up with the same total amount of energy as the original amount of potential?

That's not an accurate quote of the 'law', and it's not a true statement either. To state the law in terms of a correction to the statement in the question: After energy conversions, you end up with the same total amount of energy as the original amount of energy. This law is cleverly referred to as the law of "Conservation of Energy".


What are the conversion of energy?

Those would basically be the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. The First Law (energy conservation) states that the total energy can not be increased or decreased. The Second Law imposes some limitations about what conversions are possible.


Law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?

The law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed is the First Law of Thermodynamics. It is also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy, which states that energy can only change forms or be transferred from one system to another.


Of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation?

The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.


What law of the scientific rule states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. This principle is a fundamental concept in physics and applies to all isolated systems.


What is th law of energy called?

the law of conservation of energy


Is the law of conservation of charge the law of conservation of energy?

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


What does the law of conservation of energy have to do with energy conversions?

The idea is that when you convert energy from one form to another (for example, from form "A" to form "B"), the amount of energy of form "A" decreases; the amount of energy of form "B" increases; but the total of both doesn't change.


What law says in chemical change energy is neither created or destroyed?

The law that states energy is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical change is the Law of Conservation of Energy. This law is a fundamental principle in physics and applies to all types of energy, including heat energy released or absorbed during chemical reactions.


What is another name for the first law of Thermodynamics?

The first law of thermodynamics is also known as the Law of Energy Conservation.


What chemical equations violates the law of conservation of energy?

Any chemical equations violates the law of conservation of energy.


What is the law the stated energy cannot be made or destroyed?

It's called the Law of Conservation of Energy.
