So if airgaps in magnetic circuits are equivalent to resistors in electric circuits, which are the capacitors and inductors counterparts?

capacitors charge to a voltage equal to its source voltage and energy related to its capacitance, etc. i would say an inductor would be the magnetic equivalent of a capacitor. inductors resist changes in current until an induced voltage and thus magnetic field occurs, so a similar component will need to induce an electric charge while inhibiting magnetic fields from building up; i elect an inductor.
i'm winging this, i have no evidence to support it. also, i am drunk.
