Given are 4 resistor parallel and series circuits below: Answer the following question in small paragraphs

a) Consider current and potential in each circuit: What is going on with the electrons flowing in first circuit?

Part II: What is going on with the electrons flowing in second circuit?

b) In the parallel circuit (First one), if R1 and R2 have the same potential, WHY is that? (explain)

c) In the series circuit (second one), if R1 and R2 are not equal and do not have the same potential, WHY is that? (explain)
