resistors in series share the same current, and resistors in parallel share same voltage is this always true? or exist some exceptions? thanks

SUMMARY
In electrical circuits, resistors in series indeed share the same current, while resistors in parallel share the same voltage. This principle is fundamental to circuit analysis and is universally applicable under standard conditions. There are no exceptions to these rules in ideal scenarios, making them critical for understanding circuit behavior in both theoretical and practical applications.
