The potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the food. When those bonds break up during the metabolic processes, the energy is released. After that, that energy is stored in the Adenosine Triphosphate bonds aka ATP. The simplest way to think is to think of food as the tightly bound atoms. When the chemical bonds between those atoms break, the stored energy in that food is released.
To me, that sounds like the "Law of Conservation of Energy".
Answer:
Ratio of series current to parallel
= 1 : 8
Explanation:
Total resistance Rt
For series, Rt = 2+2+2+2 = 4ohms
For parallel, 1/Rt = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2
1/Rt = 4/2, Rt = 2/4 ohms.
If we use a 1V battery, then,
I = V/Rt
I = 1/4 = 0.25 ampere for series arrangement.
I = 1/0.5 = 2 ohms.
Ratio of current of series to parallel = 0.25 : 2
= 1 : 8
