hi i need to find out 5 differences between electrical and electronic components??

Answer 1

Electrical can be high power/high voltage, electronic is usually low power/low voltage
Electronic is usually integrated components, electrical is discrete
Electronic is usually small, Electrical can be big
Electronic is Electrical, but Electrical is not always electronic
Electronics can be progrmmable, electrical are usually not

Answer 2

The trade difference generally considers only one real difference and thats the step at which electricity is used before or at the end user device. Obviously this opens a myriad of differences. Electrical components seldom reach complexities that require DC current such as switchs, POTs or Varisters and electronics are generally more complex and require some type of bridge rectification or energy conversion. For example, ALL and I mean ALL electronics that use ANY solid state semiconductor such as an IC or Diode require a rectifier and in most modern electronics a full bridge rectifier is required. So you have 2 or 3 differences right there; complexity, current type (AC/DC), and position in the complete household circuit. How about types of components and service ratings, in advanced electronics you learn very quickly that AC load ratings are not the same as DC load ratings, even at the same voltage, this of coarse changes the types of components used for each current type which in turn also gives you another difference, a good example of this is wiring, most electrical wiring is designed to be rigid and efficient so it is made with a solid copper conductor this helps to prevent access heat or a fire and it is cheaper to make then stranded copper. Electronics often require flexible wiring and so you have thick stranded wire, this coincides with that water hose analogy (how water moves more efficiently through one big hose then severy small hoses.
