hey ur answer is here
Suppose there is a circuit with the conducting wires having zero resistance. The circuit is divided into two branches with one branch having no resistor and the second branch having one resistor with resistance r. In what manner will charges flow through the two branches?
MY REASONING : My book states that a potential difference is required for the flow of charges from one point to another. Since the first branch has no resistance, according to V=IR, the potential difference between the points is zero and hence no charge will flow through the two points and all charges will take the second path.

Hey mate !!
Here's the answer !!
If the potential difference in a series connection is 0, then there won't be flow of current. This is because all the charges take only a single path with 0 potential difference.
But if the connection is a parallel connection then there might have been minimum 2 resistors so if the potential difference of one is zero naturally the other one is also zero. Hence there won't be flow of current.
But in the third case, if it is a combination connection with one resistor zero in parallel then the current will take the series connection at its path and hence current flows here.
Hope my answer helped you !!
Cheers !!
