  CAPACITOR :: A capacitor (originally known as condenser) is a passive two terminal electrical components used to store energy in an electric field. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two electrical conductors separated by a dielectric (insulator).
  
  
  INDUCTOR :: An inductor (also choke, coil or reactor) is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores energy in its magnetic field.
  
  
  
  RESISTOR :: A resistor is a passive 2 terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In short, it resists the flow of current to pass.

  Have you referred basic electrical/electronics engineering books? It'd help if you could ask specific doubts about the parts that you found difficult to understand.

  watching tutorials on youtube is also a good way to learn.
