    Answer: Cooking would be become slower, however cleaning up becomes easier.

    Similarity;

    Both circuit connections obey Kirchoff's current and voltage law.

    Difference;

    Resistors in series do not get the total source voltage, they divide it. In parallel, they all get the total source voltage.

    Explanation:

    Appliances in the kitchen have a resistance to the flow of electricity.

    This aforementioned is attributed to the presence of resistors in the arrangement.

    A series connection of this resistors would result in a high equivalent resistance (Rn).

    Note; the equivalent resistance,

    Rn (series) = R1+R2+R3+ ...+Rn.

    This is different in the parallel connection of the resistors.

    One difference between series and parallel connection of resistors is that,

    Individual resistors in series do not get the total source voltage, they divide it.

    A similarity between series and parallel resistors connection is,

    Both circuit connections obey Kirchoff's current and voltage law.
