An effect is something that happens because of a cause or agent. Such as 'cause and effect'
Affect is a concious emotional aspect considered apart from bodily changes. Such as loving someone and feeling 'Affection' for them.
So effect is the result of something happening
And affect is an emotion, an experienced emotion

Good morning.... The word (effect) is to accomplish, to put into action, to execute, to do. Also..something that inevitably follows an antecedent (as a cause or agent).
The word (affect) is to act upon, to have an influence on someone or something, or cause them to change. The conscious subjective aspect of an emotion considered apart from bodily changes.
Have a great day!
