Current in a series circuit:
the same current passes through each component
Potential difference in a series circuit:
the total potential difference of the power supply is shared between components
Potential difference of cells in a series circuit:
the total potential difference of cells is the sum of the potential difference of each cell
Resistance in a series circuit:
the total resistance is the sum of the resistance of each component
Current in a parallel circuit:
the total current is the sum of the currents through separate branches
Potential difference in a parallel circuit:
the potential difference for each branch is the same
Resistance in a parallel circuit:
the total resistance is less than the resistance of the resistor with the least resistance
