plural A device or devices which require the flow of electrons through conductors and semiconductors in order to perform their function; devices that operate on electrical power (battery or outlet)
The branch of physics concerned with the emission, behavior, and effects of electrons
Electronics is the technology of using transistors and silicon chips, especially in devices such as radios, televisions, and computers. Europe's three main electronics companies. Branch of physics that deals with the emission, behaviour, and effects of electrons and with electronic devices. The beginnings of electronics can be traced to experiments with electricity. In the 1880s Thomas Alva Edison and others observed the flow of current between elements in an evacuated glass tube. A two-electrode vacuum tube constructed by John A. Fleming (1849-1945) produced a useful output current. The Audion, invented by Lee De Forest (1907), was followed by further improvements. The invention of the transistor at Bell Labs (1947) initiated a progressive miniaturization of electronic components that by the mid 1980s resulted in high-density microprocessors, which in turn led to tremendous advances in computer technology and computer-based automated systems.

The study and use of electrical devices that operate by controlling the flow of electrons or other electrically charged particles
The study and application of devices that control the flow of electrons, through semiconductor devices, gases, a vacuum, etc
A device or devices that owe their function to the flow of electrons through conductors and semiconductors; devices that operate on electrical power (battery or outlet.)
Term for a part of the signal processing chain that amplifies and filters the detector signals and hands over useful pulses in form of electronic signals to the PC (pulse processor)
