The circuit is callaed lumped circuit whose elements can seprate(eg rectifier circuit in pcb). but in the distributed circuit we can seprate the elements from the circuit(eg transmision lines)
A lumped circuit is a circuit where the physical dimensions of the components are small compared to the wavelength of the signals being used. It allows for simplified analysis without considering the distributed nature of the circuit. Components in a lumped circuit are represented as single points.
transmissionline is a distributed element
Lumped element resonators use discrete components like capacitors and inductors to create resonance, whereas distributed element resonators use transmission lines to create distributed capacitance and inductance throughout the structure. Lumped element resonators are typically smaller and easier to design but have limited bandwidth compared to distributed element resonators, which are larger but offer wide bandwidth and better performance at higher frequencies.
Lumped systems are those systems in which electrical properties like R, L, C etc are assumed to be located on a small space of the circuit. these systems are applicable for low frequency application. On the other hand Distributed systems assume that electrical properties R, L, C etc are distributed across the entire circuit. these systems are applicable to for high (microwave) frequency application. Unlike the lumped element model, it assumes non-uniform current along each branch and non-uniform voltage along each node.
simply defining Lumped elements are components available in market i.e., resistors,capacitors,inductors...... Whereas Distributed elements are inbuilt property( resistance,capacitance,inductance )of a connecting wire

Actually in networks we will consider the elements like resistance, inductance, capacitance as lumped elements for simplicity, like this in power systems we will consider the transmission line parameters(resistance, inductance, capacitance) as lumped elements, because we will calculate all the parameters of power systems with respect to receiving end or sending end but not with respect to middle of the line. If a fault occurs on transmission line then we should not consider the lumped elements of that total transmission line, we should consider the lumped elements from sending end to the point where the fault is occurred.
In a series circuit, all components gets the same amount of current passing through them.
lumped" means that the dimension of you ckt element is much smaller than the wavelength of the signal passing through it. Therefore, you can treat your ckt element as a lumped unit (against the wavelength), and do not have to worry about wave propagation phenomenon "within" your ckt element. The opposite of "lumped element" is "distributed network." Typically, in low-frequency ckt/network, since the frequency is low, therefore, the wavelength is large (wavelength = propagation speed(usu. speed of light) / frequency ), so most elements can be treated as lumped. However, as frequency goes higher and higher, the wavelength becomes shorted and shorter, the wave propagation effect WITHIN the ckt element becomes more and more pronounced.
It's generated using a quartz crystal and frequency multipliers on a motherboard.
The planets are "lumped" together because they are in the gravitational pull of the sun.
