current is constant for a series resistors since according to Kirchoff's current rule ,current entering a branch should leave the branch ,therefore current through each resistors in series is constant
Due to the fact that the potential difference between any two points is constant regardless of which branch is chosen, the voltage across parallel resistors is now the same.
