How Do Series and Parallel Circuits Compare in Current, Power, and Voltage Drop?

[daewoo]

I have some questions in comparing series and parallel circuits

Which circuits contain the greatest current?

Which circuits dissipate more power?

and which circuits have a larger voltage drop?

is there any way in figuring this out, by just theory or do the numbers intrepret these questions?

Also was wondering If i had a table of values of Potential Differece(V) and Upward Acceration (m/s^2) and was asked to graph this, what would the slope represent? and the significane of the x-intercept?

Thanks.

When you appreciate the underlying concepts of Ohm's Law V = I*R and the power equation P = I*V, you can answer this part yourself. Try some problems that do use numbers in both series and parallel circuits. After solving a few problems of each type, you will also be able to answer this question yourself.
