what is the difference between electrical and electronics equipments?

Answer 1

The difference is historically rooted. Up to the mid 1900's the distinction you now asked about was still clear: an electronic equipment had vacuum tube(s) in it; and an electrical one, also worked with electricity, but had no vacuum tubes. The tubes ran with streams of electrons in vacuum hence the name electronics

Subsequently when semiconductor transistors started to replace vacuum tubes, a new branch, solid-state electronics, was born. This branch has been advancing so quickly that it is now rare to find a electrical equipment without a (solid-state) chip in it. Hence today the distinction between electrical and electronics are no longer precise.

By the way, the answer may be quite different if I really read your question because electronic (no ending s) is very different from electronics (ending in s). The next paragraph exemplifies the differences.

An electronics engineer walked into an electronics shop but could not find a sample piece electronic equipment that was made by his company's automation electronics equipment. He went home and logged on the Internet to search the electronic stores for the addresses of the electronics stores in town. Incidentally he found from a website his desired CAD software which he thought would make a great electronic engineer to create the layout electronic drawings from the electronics drawings that his fellow electronics engineers designed.

Cheers!

Answer 2

In the early days, when people thought of an electrical current flowing from the Positive terminal of the power source[ like a plug point]to the equipment (may be a generator,or motors like electric fans, Grinding machines, shavers, etc)_and returning to the Negative terminal , the machines were called Electrical ewuipment.
With the study of electrons (much smaller in magnitude) flowing , the gadgets also became smaller and smaller---transisters, Diodes, thyristors, and even smaller ..........printed circuit boards containing hundreds of micro sized components mounted on a PCB card the size of a match-box. Naturally, the power source also became small, like pencil cells, batteries, and the flow of electrons were controlled / directed. Such equipment were called Electronic equipment.
Now we even have micro-miniaturisation, where the entire gadget could be the size of a thumb nail or a Button!--like a hearing aid inside the ear, or a Button microphone.

Answer 3

I suppose that electrical equipment obtains its power source from electricity and can be a simple tool, such as a power drill or an egg beater. Then again electronic gadgets also at time require a power source for recharging bateries wheras electrical equipment that you use in the kitchen needs to be plugged in. Electronical devices usually have some sort of computer chip , CPU or artificial intellegence. I'm no expert but that is the way I see it until I do more research. I enjoyed your question and it got me thinking :)

Answer 4

Electrical equipment needs power to run and to do some useful work, Whereas Electronic equipment control the electrical equipment at required output at required time and required speed. For example our body is the Electrical equipment who do the useful work as advised and controlled by the mind(the electronic chip).

Answer 5

Electronics is basically a level of Electrical usage. Electricity is the foundation for all electronics. Most electronic circuitry uses electrical components meaning they utilize the flow of electrical current that usually enters a step-down transformer to customize the voltage and amperage needed for the electronics gadget such as with a laptop where you will see an in-line transformer. Some electronics use wall adapters that change the Alternating current to Direct current in order to bypass the need for batteries. The raw form of electricity as we know it can be in the form of lightning or generated power. When this power is harnessed and controlled we can use it for various things like powering our house to powering up our telephone.

Answer 6

simply, electrical equipments are equipments which work with electrycity i.e. AC(Alternating Current) without any conversion. where as electronic equipments work with DC(Direct Current). They work on the principle of electrons.

Answer 7

Electronics could refer to direct current (DC) or digital type solid state components.

Where electrical would be more of alternating current (AC) or analog type of electrical powered equipment.

I guess it could have alot of meanings depending on how the terms are used.
