A series connection has a single path from the battery, through each circuit element in turn, then back to the battery.
Resistors in Series

The current through each resistor is the same; the voltage depends on the resistance. The sum of the voltage drops across the resistors equals the battery voltage.

From this we get the equivalent resistance (that single resistance that gives the same current in the circuit).

A parallel connection splits the current; the voltage across each resistor is the same:

The total current is the sum of the currents across each resistor:

This gives the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance:

An analogy using water may be helpful in visualizing parallel circuits:
If the pipes have different diameters, then different amounts of water flows through each. However, each has the same drop in height.

Junction rule: The sum of currents entering a junction equals the sum of the currents leaving it.
For these circuits we use Kirchhoff’s rules.
Some circuits cannot be broken down into series and parallel connections.
