In a parallel circuit, the voltage across all the elements is the same, which is the value of the applied voltage. The amount of current through each element depends upon its resistance.
Use Ohm's law to compute the current through each resistance. I = E/R.

In a series circuit, the voltage is divided among the elements of the circuit but the current through each resistor is the same. Again, use Ohm's law. The total resistance is the sum of the individual resistors. Find the current by dividing the applied voltage by the sum of the resistances. The voltage across each resistor is given by E = I*R.

In a parallel circuit the applied battery voltage is across each load.
In a series ck. the voltage will divide across each resistor according to their resistance. the total of all the voltage drops should equal the applied voltage.
