A cold circuit
That is called a short circuit.
Without conductors, electrons do not flow where you want them to flow. An electrical circuit is a flow of electrons.
transistor
Definition from the National Electrical Code Article 100:Feeder. All circuit conductors between the service equipment, the source of a separately derived system, or other power supply and the final branch-circuit overcurrent device.Branch Circuit. The circuit conductors between the final overcurrent device protecting the circuit and the outlet(s).
it's generally the resistance. its generally the energy dissipiating component called Resistor
By definition an electrical circuit is a route or path that starts and finishes at the same place. So there is no part of an electrical circuit that is not necessary, because if there were it would not be an electrical circuit.An electrical circuit needs a power source. Conductors to transmit the voltage from the power source to the load. The final component of the electrical circuit is the load that you want to energize.If you remove any of the components there will be an open circuit and the load will be impossible to operate.
Electric circuit
Analysing a circuit with a shorted component need specialised electrical test equipment.
The joining together of two or more conductors in an electric circuit.
That is called a short circuit.

"Electrical circuit". "Electrical" meaning "electricity". "Circuit" meaning "around from the start back to the starting place". If any of the materials in that circuit path are not conductors, there is no circuit. The electricity only goes that far and stops. So all materials in the circuit must be able to conduct electricity.
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that limits the current flowing in electrical or electronic circuits.
