There are four laws of thermodynamics, each playing a crucial role in understanding the behavior of
energy and matter in physical systems. These laws are the fundamental principles of
thermodynamics, a branch of physics that deals with energy, heat, and work.

1. Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics: If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third
system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law establishes the
concept of temperature and the transitive property of thermal equilibrium. It is called the
"zeroth" law because it was formulated after the first and second laws had already been
established.

2. First Law of Thermodynamics (Law of Energy Conservation): Energy cannot be created or

destroyed in an isolated system, only converted from one form to another. This law is also
known as the principle of conservation of energy. It states that the change in the internal
energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the
system on its surroundings.

3. Second Law of Thermodynamics: The entropy of an isolated system always increases over
time and approaches a maximum value at equilibrium. This law introduces the concept of
entropy, which is a measure of the system's disorder or randomness. It states that natural
processes tend to increase the overall entropy of the universe.

4. Third Law of Thermodynamics: As the temperature of a system approaches absolute zero (0

Kelvin), the entropy of the system approaches a constant minimum. It implies that it is
impossible to reach absolute zero in a finite number of steps, although it is a hypothetical
limit.
