Answer
The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant. In other words, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. This law was first proposed by German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz in 1847, and it has been experimentally verified many times since then. In 1887, German physicist Heinrich Hertz conducted an experiment that confirmed the law of conservation of energy.
