What is the difference between these words: affected and effected?

Question

Is there a difference in the meaning of them?

Answer 1

Yes, there is.

Affected means to be changed or moved by something, like "The movie affected her deeply."

Effected is the opposite, it means to put effect into something, like "He effected the grass with his mower."

Remember it by thinking about special effects, not affects.

You get the picture...

Answer 2

i remember it like this: the effect is what happens after you affect it
