First law of thermodynamics

Known as the law of conservation of energy

The change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system.

ΔU = Q - W, 

Where ΔU is the change in internal energy, Q is the heat added to the system and W is the work done by the system.
