1). the total voltage between the ends of the series circuit was constant.
The resistance of the circuit and the current through the circuit changed.

2). The voltage between the end terminals of the parallel circuit is constant.
The resistance of the circuit and the current through the circuit changed.

3). So that you can avoid building a circuit that needs more current
than your battery can supply, and also to be sure and choose a battery
or power supply that's able to deliver the amount of current that your
circuit needs.
