The term electronics refers to a large number of different phenomena and devices in which useful electrical effects are achieved through control of the motion of electrons.
The fact that the time in which we live is sometimes referred to as "the electronic age" indicates what widespread consequences are involved.
A representative partial list of electronic devices today includes such diverse applications as rectifiers, amplifiers, integrated circuits, memories, microwave sources and receivers, light-emitting devices, light-detecting devices, and solar cells to convert solar energy into electricity.
