What is the difference between series combination and the parallel combination of resistors?

In series combination of resistors the current going in each resistor is same but the potential difference across each resistor is different and in parallel combination of resistors potential difference across every resistor is same but the current in each resistor is different and if we stop the supply of current in one resistor the current in other resistors does not stop flowing in case of parallel but in case of series the current flowing in the circuit stops.
