Explain Laws of thermodynamics ?

Question

Accepted Answer

The laws of thermodynamics describe the fundamental principles governing energy and its transformations.

First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted.
Second Law of Thermodynamics: The entropy of an isolated system always increases over time.
Third Law of Thermodynamics: As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a minimum value.
Example of the first law: When a hot cup of coffee is left on a table, it cools down as heat is transferred to the surroundings.
Example of the second law: Heat flows naturally from a hot object to a cold object, but not the other way around without external work.
Example of the third law: At absolute zero, the entropy of a perfect crystal is zero.
