What the law says
Conservation of energy says energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred between stores. In a closed system, the total energy remains constant even though the type of energy may change.
Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Physics Conservation of energy. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
