1. electronicsnoun

   the branch of physics that deals with the behavior of electrons. Electronics is primarily concerned with phenomena other than simple conduction, such as emission of electrons, storage of electrical charge, the effects of electrical fields on the conduction of electrons through a circuit, and amplification and manipulation of electric signals such as voltage or current by design of circuits. Electronics also encompasses the application of such fundamental principles to the construction of devices using the manipulation of electrons in their operation, known as electronic devices.

2. electronicsnoun

   the branch of engineering concerned with design of devices using the principles of electronics, for practical purposes.

3. electronicsnoun

   electronic devices generally, or the electronic circuits within an electronic device. The Russian harvesters are sturdily constructed, but their electronics are primitive.

1. Electronics

   The field of electronics is a branch of physics and electrical engineering that deals with the emission, behaviour and effects of electrons using electronic devices. Electronics uses active devices to control electron flow by amplification and rectification, which distinguishes it from classical electrical engineering, which only uses passive effects such as resistance, capacitance and inductance to control electric current flow. Electronics has hugely influenced the development of modern society. The central driving force behind the entire electronics industry is the semiconductor industry sector, which has annual sales of over $481 billion as of 2018. The largest industry sector is e-commerce, which generated over $29 trillion in 2017.

1. ELECTRONICS

   Electronics refers to the branch of physics and engineering that deals with the behavior and control of electrons (or other charged particles) in various devices, systems, and circuits. It involves the study, design, and application of electronic components, circuits, and systems that use electronic devices to manipulate electrical currents and voltages for various purposes such as signal processing, information storage, communication, power generation, and control. Electronics typically involves the understanding and manipulation of passive and active electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, and integrated circuits, to create functional electronic systems and devices.

1. Electronics

   Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, and associated passive interconnection technologies. The nonlinear behaviour of active components and their ability to control electron flows makes amplification of weak signals possible and electronics is widely used in information processing, telecommunications, and signal processing. The ability of electronic devices to act as switches makes digital information processing possible. Interconnection technologies such as circuit boards, electronics packaging technology, and other varied forms of communication infrastructure complete circuit functionality and transform the mixed components into a regular working system. Electronics is distinct from electrical and electro-mechanical science and technology, which deals with the generation, distribution, switching, storage, and conversion of electrical energy to and from other energy forms using wires, motors, generators, batteries, switches, relays, transformers, resistors, and other passive components. This distinction started around 1906 with the invention by Lee De Forest of the triode, which made electrical amplification of weak radio signals and audio signals 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.

Examples of electronics in a Sentence

1. Antony Blinken:

   The Chinese government has detained more than one million people in as many as 1200 state-run internment camps throughout Xinjiang, many detainees are subjected to physical violence, sexual abuse, and torture to induce them to work producing apparel, electronics, solar equipment, agricultural products.

2. Doug Hirsch:

   I had the experience of taking a prescription into a pharmacy and the pharmacist said it would be $ 500, and I hadn't talked to my doctor about that. That seemed like an extraordinary price, and so I took the prescription back and I went to a few other pharmacies, and I found way different prices — $ 250, $ 400. And I thought there's got to be a better way. If I can compare prices for travel and for electronics, why can't I compare prices for health care ?

3. Fox Sports:

   Before the start of the bottom of the fourth inning ... a rare electronics failure caused both the primary and backup generators inside the Fox Sports production compound to lose power, the issue was immediately addressed, although it resulted in the audience missing one at-bat during the time needed to switch to (the) international feed, powered by a different generator on site.

4. James McQuivey:

   The lesson we learned from consumer electronics is that when the market matures consumers go cheaper...If you're Amazon and you know this is going to happen you might as well join in.

5. Liu Haifeng:

   It is impossible for people, especially the younger generations, to live without electronics.
