Difference between electronics and physics.

In summary, Electronics is not a branch of science, but a technology that overlaps with physics. Physics is a blanket term that covers a wide range of subjects, including electricity. While physics is concerned with principles and theories, electronics is a specific application of some of those models. However, practical invention and development in electronics can contribute to the advancement of physics. The main difference between the two is that physicists have access to more advanced tools and equipment.

Err, that's a weird question

A)I think you misworded that, electronics isn't a branch of science, so much as actual things, and though there are electronics courses they study those "things."(hey, I'll leave useful...word..thinking of...to English majors!)

B)assuming you meant electricity vs. physics, that's just semantics. The term physics is a blanket term in that it covers a wide variety of subjects, mechanics, ELECTRICITY, optics, acoustics, etc.

Physics is a science, concerned with principles and theories,
able to model real situations and processes to some degree.
A technology such as Electronics overlaps physics to the extent
that is a specific application of some of the models within it.
Technologies are distinct from being *merely* applications,
finding & using features that "work" even if poorly understood.
Practical invention & development supply new tools to the science,
and bring fresh topics and phenomena to investigate.

actually there is a degree in lebanon called electronics

What is the difference between electronics and physics?

Electronics is a branch of science that deals with the study of electronic devices and systems, while physics is a broader field that encompasses the study of matter, energy, and their interactions.

Are electronics and physics closely related?

Yes, electronics heavily relies on the principles and laws of physics to design and develop electronic devices. Without a thorough understanding of physics, it would be impossible to create functioning electronic devices.

What are some examples of electronic devices?

Some examples of electronic devices include smartphones, computers, televisions, radios, and appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.

How do electronics and physics affect our daily lives?

Electronics and physics play a significant role in our daily lives, from the way we communicate and access information to the way we use energy and perform tasks. Many modern conveniences and technologies are made possible through advancements in electronics and physics.

What are the career opportunities in electronics and physics?

There are various career opportunities in both electronics and physics, such as electrical engineer, physicist, electronics technician, research scientist, and many more. These fields offer diverse and exciting career options for individuals interested in science and technology.
