For how long do capacitors, resistors, transistors and chips work?
(what is their lifetime)



It depends on too many things, that's like asking us how long mammals live.


How long mammals live is a far simpler question - about a billion

mammals. As a ballpark range - a few thousand hours to hundreds of
thousands of hours.
