One more thing to note about the difference between series and parallel circuits is that in a parallel circuit, the current in each branch can be different, but they all add up to be the same everywhere once you reduce the branches into a single branch. Just like the water analogy, when you connect the main hose into five different smaller hoses, the sum of all five is going to equal flow through the main hose.
