Do you mean Voltage
Current
Resistance?

I would guess (1) voltage or current source, (2) conductors, and (3) a load.

Frequency? Can you tell us if we're getting warm.

With the info provided....
I too would lean towards Ohms Law.
E=IxR
Voltage (EMF)=Current x Resistance

The true basic elements of electrical circuits are resistance, inductance, and capacitance.

Just for the fun of it.............
I am not doubting what anybody says here because the question did not really give much information.
Is not inductance only found in AC circuits?

Components such as inductors, resistors and capacitors can be found in DC electronic circuits, and intentionally.

These elements are automatically part of AC circuits, usually unintentional, and are unwanted, but dealt with.

Since the question lacks detail, the asker is all set if the test being taken is multiple choice.

He says ALL circuits, Battery and bulb is electrical circuit?

Comments on this post
bhayne agrees: Right. Also in AC power circuits you can't have capacitance AND inductance at the same time at the same frequency. They cancel each other.

Just to be picky (why not? the original poster never came back to clarify the question, so we may as well debate among ourselves here): resistance, capacitance and inductance are all just different aspects of impedance. So I would only count them together as one element.
