The law of conservation of energy states that
A. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed
B. Energy can be destroyed but not created
C. Energy can be created but not destroyed
D. Total energy always increases

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
First law of thermodynamics: Energy is conserved in an isolated system. It changes forms (kinetic to potential etc.) but total constant. Perpetual motion machine impossible.

Ohm's law V = IR holds for:
A. Ohmic conductors at constant temperature
B. Insulators
C. All materials
D. Semiconductors only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ohm's law applies to ohmic materials (metals) at constant temperature. Non-ohmic devices (diodes, filaments) have nonlinear V-I characteristics. Memory tip: 'Ohmic = linear V-I graph through origin; temperature must be constant'. Conceptual question testing Ohm's law limitations, frequently examined in competitive exams.
