What is Main Difference b/w Electrical and Electronics Engineering?
According to Wikipedia;
Electrical Engineering is the field of Engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. and,
Electronics Engineering is an Engineering discipline where non-linear and active electrical and electronics components and devices such as electron tubes, and semiconductor devices, especially transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, etc. are utilized to design electronic circuits, devices and systems.
but below is the main difference between Electrical and Electronics Engineering which prevents such a confusion between Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Electrical Engineering = Study and Utilization/Application of Flow of Electrons.
Electronics Engineering = Study and utilization/Application of Flow of Charge ( Electron & Holes).
As we know that we study only the flow of Electrons in a Conductor and insulator,
but in case of Semiconductor, we study both of flow of electrons ( Negatively Charges) and holes ( Positively Charge).
