Electronics
8/28/2008
Electronics refers to the flow of charge (moving electrons) through
nonmetal conductors (mainly semiconductors), whereas electrical refers to the
flow of charge through metal conductors. For example, flow of charge through
silicon, which is not a metal, would come under electronics; whereas flow of
charge through copper, which is a metal, would come under electrical. This
distinction started around 1908 with the invention by Lee De Forest of the
triode. Until 1950 this field was called "Radio techniques" because its
principal application was the design and theory of radio transmitters and
receivers.

Notes
“An electronic component is any physical entity in an electronic system whose
intention is to affect the electrons or their associated fields in a desired
manner consistent with the intended function of the electronic system.
Components are generally intended to be in mutual electromechanical contact,
usually by being soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB), to create an
electronic circuit with a particular function (for example an amplifier, radio
receiver, or oscillator). Components may be packaged singly or in more complex
groups as integrated circuits. Some common electronic components are capacitors,
resistors, diodes, transistors etc.”
