resistors and capacitors are used in order to create a path for the current , for the resistivity of the current , for the storage of the current.
AnswerResistors don't just 'resist' electric current, they create a predictable change in voltage (electric potential) from one side to the other, so they can be used to adjust the expected voltage level at each point in a circuit.
In an electric circuit with an unchanging current and voltage, capacitors simply store current and wait for something to change.
In the more common electronic case of a circuit with voltage fluctuations, each capacitor is effectively a high-pass filter -- it permits quickly-fluctuating voltages to pass through, but reduces or stops slowly-fluctuating voltages.

Why do you use resistors and capacitors in any electronic circuit?
because their effects are desired to make the circuit work
What type of circuit is it when capacitors are combined with resistors?
RC Circuit
A circuit contains a 10 pF capacitor and a 50 pF capacitor connected in parallel.What is the total capacitance of this circuit?
When capacitors are connected in parallel, the total capacitance in the circuit in which they are connected is the sum of both capacitances. Capacitors in parallel add like resistors in series, while capacitors in series add like resistors in parallel.
Active component in resistors and capacitors?
Resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes are all passive components.
What are active elements in circuit?
A; Any components that provide gain/loss are active device resistors, capacitors are passive
What is super-thin slice of semiconducting material packed with microscopic circuit elements such as wires transistors capacitors logic gates and resistors?
integrated circuit
How many capacitors are use in a circuit?
Capacitors store charge. There are many applications for their use. There is no set amount of capacitors in a circuit since it is application dependent.
How do you convert capacitors to resistors?
Capacitors are completely different than resistors and there can be no converting between them, whatever that means.
What is the relationship between capacitors in series and resistors in series?
resistor isdefined as the opposing the current flow in a circuit. capacitor is defined as the store the electric field in one forth of the cycle and the another quarter cycle stored energy will be released
What is a complex circuit of many transistors diodes resistors capacitors and other electronic devices that are formed onto a tiny silicon chip?
monolithic integrated circuit
Why do people use resistors in an electric circuit?
we use resistors in an electric circuit to describe how a wire works and to control the flow of electricity
What are IPDs?
IPD is an abbreviation for integrated passive device, which contains capacitors, resistors, inductors, and other components on a printed-circuit board.
