from one form to another. E.g. if we drop a plate from a height‚ the potential energy of the plate gets converted mostly to sound energy when it hits the ground‚ chemical energy in the wax is converted to heat energy & light energy on burning. The total energy during a physical or chemical process remains the same. In the above examples‚ energy in the usable form is dissipated to the surroundings in less usable forms. Hence‚ any source of energy we use‚ to do work‚ is consumed & can not be used again
