Question

The basic elements of an electric circuit are _____________

(a) R, L and C

(b) Voltage

(c) Current

(d) Voltage as well as current

I have been asked this question in an internship interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Advanced Problems on Millman’s Theorem and Maximum Power Transfer Theorem topic in division Useful Theorems in Circuit Analysis of Network Theory

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) R, L and C

Best explanation: The elements which show their behaviour only when excited are called as basic circuit elements. Here resistance, inductance and capacitance show their behaviour only when excited. Hence they are the basic elements of an electric circuit.
