According to the law of conservation of energy, in an isolated system:

Question

Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Law of conservation of energy states total energy (all forms) is conserved in isolated systems. For mechanical energy (KE + PE) to be conserved, only conservative forces (like gravity, spring) must act; non-conservative forces (friction) convert mechanical energy to heat. Option C precisely states this condition. Options A and B are incorrect as KE and PE individually vary. Option D is false as thermal energy can exist. Memory tip: 'Mechanical energy conserved ⇔ no non-conservative work'. This nuanced understanding is critical for energy problems in competitive exams, where distractors often omit the conservative force condition.
