A circuit is any arrangement of objects (circuit elements) in which an electric current flows through a closed loop. The only absolutely essential elements of a circuit are something to make the current go, called a source, and something to carry the current around the circuit, called a conductor (usually, a wire, a metal trace on a circuit board, or some of each.) There are many other kinds of circuit elements that have various properties, and each of these may serve a number of different functions. The most basic of the elements are the resistor, the capacitor, and the inductor. Others include Transformers, transistors (of various types.) diodes, and many more. There properties and functions are so varied as to far exceed what can be written here; indeed, they fill large textbooks. Multiple sources exist on the web with some basic information on these that is beyond the scope of a single answer here. Just Google it, and try Wikipedia.
