A circuit component is a discrete device or physical entity within an electrical circuit that performs a specific function, such as controlling the flow of current, storing electrical energy, or amplifying signals. Common circuit components include resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. Each component has unique electrical properties and characteristics that contribute to the overall functionality of the circuit.
A fractor is a circuit component that has both the function of resistor and capacitor.
Yes
A discrete component is one where the package contains only one circuit element. The opposite is an "integrated circuit" (aka a "silicon chip" or "chip") where a package contains many circuit elements. It's not that "discrete" is a type of resistor, it's that a resistor is a type of discrete component.
The power dissipated by the complete circuit, no matter whether it's a series or parallel one, is the simple sum of the power dissipated by each component of the circuit.
An electronic component is simply used to resist the flow of a certain current. In theory, it is connected to a circuit board and includes those resistors, capacitors, and transistors.
If a component is hooked into a live circuit, it is likely that the component itself will be damaged.
In a series circuit, if one component burns out, the circuit will not work because the current flow is interrupted by the burnt-out component. This is because components in a series circuit share the same current.
Integrated circuit
The component in an electrical circuit that provides resistance is called a resistor.
Analysing a circuit with a shorted component need specialised electrical test equipment.
The disadvantage of a parallel circuit is that if one component fails, the other components will still work, making it harder to identify the faulty component. In a series circuit, if one component fails, it breaks the circuit and all components will stop working.

Power dissipated by the entire series circuit = (voltage between its ends)2 / (sum of resistances of each component in the circuit). Power dissipated by one individual component in the series circuit = (current through the series circuit)2 x (resistance of the individual component).
Yes, the placement of the switch does matter in a series circuit. Placing it before a component will interrupt the flow of current to the entire circuit, while placing it after a component will only interrupt the current to that specific component.
In a series circuit, if one component is removed or defective, the circuit will be broken and no current will flow. In a parallel circuit, if one component is removed or defective, the current will simply bypass that component and continue to flow through the other branches.
In a parallel circuit, each component has its own separate path to the power source. If one component fails or is removed, the other components can still receive current and operate because their circuits are not interrupted by the failure of the other component. This is different from a series circuit where the failure of one component interrupts the entire circuit.
