What is Electronics?

The field of electronics is a branch of physics and electrical engineering that deals with the emission, behaviour and effects of electrons using electronic devices. 

Overview

Electronic devices are components for controlling the flow of electrical currents for the purpose of information processing and system control. Prominent examples include transistors and diodes. Electronic devices are usually small and can be grouped together into packages called integrated circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called electronics?

Electronics encompasses an exceptionally broad range of technology. The term originally was applied to the study of electron behaviour and movement, particularly as observed in the first electron tubes.

What is electronics for students?

Electronics is the branch of physics concerned with the generation and behavior of electrons, as in transistors and electron tubes. It is especially concerned with their use in electronic devices, in which electricity is used to control, communicate, and process information.

What is the importance of electronics?

Electronic devices have become an important part of our day-to-day life. It has become difficult for us to do work without using electronic devices. We live in a generation that uses electronics and technologies where robots and artificial intelligence are capable of doing human work with more ease and efficiency.

Which is an electronic device?

Definition. Electronic devices are components for controlling the flow of electrical currents for the purpose of information processing and system control. Prominent examples include transistors and diodes. Electronic devices are usually small and can be grouped together into packages called integrated circuits.

Is electronics same as physics?

No they are not the same. Pursuing bachelors or masters in physics is completely different from electronics. Electronics is a branch of physics that deals with machines, operations and principles, but it will not deal with quantum, crystal physics and all.

What is the study of electronics called?

Electronic engineering is a sub-discipline of electrical engineering which emerged in the early 20th century and is distinguished by the additional use of active components such as semiconductor devices to amplify and control electric current flow.

How do electronics work?

Electronics uses active devices to control electron flow by amplification and rectification, which distinguishes it from classical electrical engineering, which only uses passive effects such as resistance, capacitance and inductance to control electric current flow.

What is electronics and technology?

Electronics technology is the application of scientific theories and principles in the design, production, installation, testing, service, use, and control of electrical and electronic parts, equipment and systems. Electronics technology is used across all industries, including commercial, residential, and industrial.

Is TV electrical or electronic?

For example, although your TV set’s remote control is a pretty complicated little electronic device, it contains batteries, which are simple electrical devices.

What is difference between electrical and electronics?

The term Electrical deals with the flow of electrical power or charge, whereas electronics deals with the flow of electrons. There is only a minute difference between electrical and electronics, and both of them more or less deal with electricity.

What are the application of electronics?

Electronics are widely used in the automobile industry in engine control and car-entertainment systems. It is used in utility systems like boiler feed pumps, high voltage DC transmission, static circuit breakers, and smart grid systems. Electronics plays an important role in the aerospace industry.

Is electronics and ECE are same?

The primary focus in both are different in electronics its circuit design , circuit behaviour , circuit analysis etc whereas in ece its signal processing and communication field. Electronics is a broad field whereas ece is broad field but focused on only one field of electronics both needs btech for 4 yrs.

What is the history of electronics?

Electronics’ actual history began with the invention of vacuum diode by J.A. Fleming, in 1897; and, after that, a vacuum triode was implemented by Lee De Forest to amplify electrical signals. This led to the introduction of tetrode and pentode tubes that dominated the world until World War II.

Is fridge an electronic device?

Electric ovens, refrigerators, air conditioners, and electric space heaters are examples of electrical appliances. Computers, smartphones, mp3 players, radios, and cameras are examples of electronic appliances. Many electronic appliances can run on battery power.
