Circuit elements can be classified based on different criteria. Classifying elements based on the physical dimensions of the element results in two broad classes of circuits – lumped parameter circuits and distributed parameter circuits.
Electromagnetic effects propagate within the circuit in the form of waves with a finite velocity. Hence, the time-variation of e.m.f. taking place within the electrical sources will be felt at different points in the circuit with different time delays. Therefore, the description of electrical phenomena in circuit elements, in general, will involve time and space variables. A circuit element cannot be described by a unique voltage ...
