hello
plz help me in knowing the differnce between electrical and electronics
 

The term electrical engineering may or may not encompass electronic engineering. Where a distinction is made, electrical engineering is considered to deal with the problems associated with large-scale electrical systems such as power transmission and motor control, whereas electronic engineering deals with the study of small-scale electronic systems including computers and integrated circuits.[1] Another way of looking at the distinction is that electrical engineers are usually concerned with using electricity to transmit energy, while electronics engineers are concerned with using electricity to transmit information.

the main differnce between the electrical is that it deals with the circuits consuming the power in kilowatts or megawatts and electronics only deal with milli watts
it also deals with nonlinear devices like diodes, transistors. etc
but electrical deals wtih the heavy machinery.

electrical is about electrical machines like transformers, generators and big machines that has high powers while electronics is all about circuits and chips that has small voltage diodes, transistors, ic come under this....
 

electrical systems have high power in kilowatts or megawatts or more
they are power generation plants, transformers and industrial heavy machines and so on
they use high voltages and currents

electronics systems have low power in milliwatts usually
they are devices such as transistors, diodes
they use low voltages and currents
