In resistive circuits,when you need the same current in the whole circuit,you use series circuit because in series circuit current remains the same.If you have two batteries of 12 volts each,and you need 24 volts you can arrange them in series to get 24 volts you have to connect them combine with opposite terminals.positive of one battery will connected with negative of other battery,and negative of second will connected with the first's battery positive terminal,they are in series now.

Do modern homes use electricity that is arranged in series or in parallel circuits?

In a modern home you use parallel circuit's. The reason why they are parallel circuit and not series is For example: say your kitchen light goes off, if that light goes off the others in your house won't. They also use parallel circuit in schools. However, when there is a switch in the circuit, that switch is in series with the load, so you could say that electrical wiring is arranged in series-parallel.
