First law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed

The mathmetical formulation of first law of thermodynamics : Δ U = q + w

Where ,

 \starΔ U = change is internal energy

 \starq = heat

 \starw = work done

Now , we are going to derive this equation or formula

Suppose ,

The initial internal energy of the system = U1

if it gain or absorbs heat q its internal energy will become

U1 + q

If further work w is done on the system , the internal energy will further increases and become

U1 + q + w

Consider , this final energy as U2

Then ,

 \sf \implies U2 = U1 + q + w \\  \\ \sf \implies U2 - U1 = q + w \\  \\ \sf \implies     \red{\fbox{Δ U = q + w}}
