Why the potential difference of resistors connected in series different ?

when 2 resistors say R1 and R2 are connected in series, the same amount of current flows through them. This results in V1 = IR1 and V2 = IR2
But this is not the case with the flow of voltage.
When the voltage flows through resistors connected in parallel, same amount of voltage flows though each parallel circuit.
But when it is connected in series, IR amount of voltage is used by one resistor and the remaining voltage is used by the other resistor.
which implies that if the total voltage is V, it gets divided by each resistors resulting in
V = v1 + v2 + v3 + . . .
therefore the potential diffeRence of resistors connected in series are different.

in that case, I need points too bro
still since u asked, there are 3 reasons for heating effect
thats so selfish of u
yes please continue
if u take the case of a bulb, you'll easily remember those 3 reasons
one is high resistance of the conductor
the filaments in a bulb have high resistance, remember that
next is high flow of current
the third point is the time duration. longer the current flow remains, more heat it produces.
hope it helps
