Electrical vs. Electronics

Electricaladjective

Related to electricity (or electronics)

Electricalnoun

An electrical engineer.

Electricaladjective

relating to or concerned with electricity;

Electricaladjective

using or providing or producing or transmitting or operated by electricity;

Electricaladjective

concerned with, operating by, or producing electricity

Electricaladjective

(of a company or shop) manufacturing or selling electrical appliances.

Electricalnoun

electrical equipment or circuitry.

Electricalnoun

shares in companies manufacturing electrical goods.

Electronicsnoun

(physics) The study and use of electrical devices that operate by controlling the flow of electrons or other electrically charged particles or by converting the flow of charged particles to or from other forms of energy.

Electronicsnoun

(in the plural) A device or devices which require the flow of electrons through conductors and semiconductors in order to perform their function; devices that operate on electrical power (battery or outlet)

Electronicsnoun

Electronic circuitry.

Electronicsnoun

the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of electrons. Electronics is primarily concerned with phenomena other than simple conduction, such as emission of electrons, storage of electrical charge, the effects of electrical fields on the conduction of electrons through a circuit, and amplification and manipulation of electric signals such as voltage or current by design of circuits. Electronics also encompasses the application of such fundamental principles to the construction of devices using the manipulation of electrons in their operation, known as electronic devices.

Electronicsnoun

the branch of engineering concerned with design of devices using the principles of electronics, for practical purposes.

Electronicsnoun

electronic devices generally, or the electronic circuits within an electronic device.

Electronicsnoun

the branch of physics that deals with the emission and effects of electrons and with the use of electronic devices

Electronics

Electronics comprises the physics, engineering, technology and applications that deal with the emission, flow and control of electrons in vacuum and matter. It uses active devices to control electron flow by amplification and rectification, which distinguishes it from classical electrical engineering which uses passive effects such as resistance, capacitance and inductance to control current flow.
