Common mistake
Misunderstanding Energy Redistribution
Students often confuse the concept of energy redistribution with energy conservation, thinking that energy is lost rather than redistributed in a system.
Emphasize that energy is always conserved in a closed system; it may change forms or be redistributed, but the total energy remains constant.
