Electronics is the study of the flow of charge through various materials and devices such as semiconductors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, nano-structures and vacuum tubes. Although considered to be a theoretical branch of physics, the design and construction of electronic circuits to solve practical problems is an essential technique in the fields of electronic engineering and computer engineering. This science starts about 1908 with the invention by Dr Lee De Forest of the valve (triode) Before 1950 this science was named "Radio" or "Radio technics" because that was its principal application.
The study of new semiconductor devices and surrounding technology is sometimes considered a branch of physics. This article focuses on engineering aspects of electronics.

Electronics engineers design circuits using transistors and passive components in which voltage or current changes carry information. And digital designers live in a world in which it is assumed that there are pre-defined circuits that exactly implement abstract logic functions so they can focus on combinatorial and sequential design in nearly complete innocence of the underlying electronics.


New branches of physical science that are not even taught to today's electronics graduates are becoming significant. One obvious example is provided by the explosion in monolithic optical devices.


Photodiodes have been around for a long time, particularly to provide the sensory element in CCD arrays. There has also been the relative curiosity of micromachine optical components, such as the TI micromirror array, now widely used in projection displays and about to break into more interesting applications.

The term does not include any equipment that contains embedded information technology that is used as an integral part of the product, but the principal function of which is not the acquisition, storage, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information. For example, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) equipment such as thermostats or temperature control devices, and medical equipment where information technology is integral to its operation, are not information technology.

Information technology. Any equipment or interconnected system or subsystem of equipment, that is used in the automatic acquisition, storage, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information. The term 'information technology' includes computers, ancillary equipment, software, firmware and similar procedures, services (including support services), and related resources.
