1.In series combination, an equal magnitude of current passes through all the components present in the series combination no matter what. The charges in this circuit will pass such that every charge will pass through each component that is connected in the series combination. This phenomenon is totally opposite to what happens in the parallel combination. The potential difference across each electrical component in the series combination will be different and will depend upon the resistance properties that the component possesses.
