Electricity is dangerous!
You can be injured or killed!
Improper installations can cause fire, injury and death!
Should you be doing this yourself?)
The only reason there is "not enough voltage" somewhere is because there is a partially or completely open connection providing resistance and a location to allow a voltage drop [bad splice, bad switch, bad breaker, broken wire, burned splice, ...].
It is the knowledge of how electricity works, and of the methods and materials used to create a functional wiring system, that enables a skilled troubleshooter to locate the problem and repair it.
Where should the "voltage" be, and how does it get there?
When you understand that, you will understand what is keeping it from getting where it should be...
What are the possible routes from the items that don't work back to the panel?
I would suggest that there is something on this circuit which still has power, but which is not allowing it to continue to the rest of the circuit.
There may be a receptacle at the other end of the house which works but has a burned connection to the outbound conductor.
Happy hunting!

TURN THE POWER OFF!
You are more likely to be killed by 110 volts than any other. It can create PERFECT fatal current through human body's electrical resistance! <><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power
at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND
always use an electricians test meter having metal-tipped probes
(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

What are the six meanings of the word multiple?
having or involving several parts, elements, or members: multiple occupancy | a multiple birth. • numerous and often varied: words with multiple meanings. • (of a disease, injury, or disability) complex in its nature or effects, or affecting several parts of the body: a multiple fracture of the femur. • of or designating an electrical circuit that has several points at which connection can occur. 1 a number that can be divided by another number without a remainder: 15, 20, or any other multiple of five. 2 an arrangement of terminals that allows connection with an electrical circuit at any one of several points.
How are parallel and series circuit different?
In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.
How can you identify a circuit as a parallel circuit?
You can identify that a circuit is parallel by checking to see how many paths it can take. If it only has one path then it is a series circuit. If it is a parallel circuit it can have several paths.
Each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors yes or no?
No. What you are describing is a series-parallel circuit, not a parallel circuit.
Can each branch in a parallel circuit may hold several resistors?
Yes, but then it would be a 'series-parallel' circuit, not a 'parallel' circuit!
Why would one circuit in your house have low voltage but not all of them?
There are several possibilities. You could have a bad breaker that has internal resistance causing a voltage drop. If all the devices on the circuit are low then this is a likely possibility. There could be a loose connection in the electric panel either on the neutral or hot side. This will also effect all devices. If problem is not at all devices there could be a loose connection in a junction box.

What is a buss bar?
A 'bus bar' (not 'buss') is usually a strip of heavy-duty rectangular-section copper conductor, at line, neutral, or earth potential, to which a number of individual circuit conductors can be connected. It provides a common point of connection for several circuit conductors. The origin of the word, 'bus', comes from 'omnibus' -which means 'providing for many things at once'.
