Describe the current across a series circuit
The current is the same across all points in a series circuit.
Describe potential difference in a series circuit
Potential difference is split between components, according to the ratio of their resistances.
Describe current across a parallel circuit
The current is divided between the branches of the circuit.
Describe the potential difference across a parallel circuit
Each branch has a potential difference equal to the potential difference of the supply
