Assuming 2 resistors connected in series voltage supplied to the 1st resistor will be greater than voltage supplied the 2nd resistor. Connected in parallel voltage supplied to both resistors will be equal to source voltage. Current is determined by the total resistance of the circuit. I = V/R(total) where R(total) = R1 + R2 in series and 1/R(total) = 1/R1 + 1/R2 in parallel.
