Electronics is that branch of science and technology which makes use of the controlled motion of electrons through different media and vacuum. The ability to control electron flow is usually applied to information handling or device control. Electronics is distinct from electrical science and technology, which deals with the generation, distribution, control and application of electrical power. This distinction started around 1906 with the invention by Lee De Forest of the triode, which made electrical amplification possible with a non-mechanical device. Until 1950 this field was called "radio technology" because its principal application was the design and theory of radio transmitters, receivers and vacuum tubes.

Most electronic devices today use semiconductor components to perform electron control. The study of semiconductor devices and related technology is considered a branch of physics, whereas the design and construction of electronic circuits to solve practical problems come under electronics engineering. This article focuses on engineering aspects of electronics.

What sort of electronics travel adaptor do I need to travel from Australia to South Korea?
Q. Also, even with an adaptor will my electronics work when plugged into a Korean socket or are they on a different voltage? Basically; how can I get my Australian electronics to work in South Korea?
Asked by Glynnsing - Tue Feb 9 09:40:04 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Korea is 220v and Australia is 240v...your electronics should be fine with just a simple plug converter... The best time to buy one is at the airport in Australia as you are leaving...or an electronics store before you leave...don't wait until you get here to Korea because it will be difficult to find... I bought a multi-converter that works for many different countries in the airport store the last time I traveled...

What is the difference between Electronics Engineering and Electrical Engineering?
Q. Can an Electrical Engineer specialize in electronics? I am looking to become an Electronics Engineer but some colleges only offer a major in electrical engineering. Could i major in that and still be an Electronics Engineer? Thank you
Asked by Marcela - Sun Sep 6 17:39:33 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Electrical engineers generally deal with large-power applications, such as utility and industrial power systems, whereas electronics engineers deal with low-power systems such as computers and communications and smaller electronic components. There is much overlap but I would be careful going to school for Electrical Engineering while wanting to be called an Electronics Engineer.
