1) Ohm's Law states that the current through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied across it. It is represented by the equation V=IR, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance.
2) In a series circuit, the current is the same through all components as there is only one path for current to flow. The total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances.
3) In a parallel circuit, the voltage is the same across all branches as there are multiple paths for current to flow forming closed loops. The total resistance is lower than any single resistance.
