Rohit, inductance, capacitance, resistance, and conductance are abstract properties. They are very useful to understand concepts and dominant behaviors. Objects in the real world don't consist of lumped R-L-C-G elements. Passive linear devices exhibit behaviors that can be usefully approximated with models built using combinations of R-L-C-G elements. The more precisely we wish to model and the wider the frequency range we wish to represent real device behavior across, the more R-L-C-G elements we need to put in the models. That particular model happens to have five branches. At some loss in accuracy it could have had fewer branches. Steve.
