'''Electronics'''  is the study of electron flow, materials and devices such as circuits, semiconductors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, etc. and their application involved in the transmission of [[energy]] and information. This study is generally divided into two areas, [[Analog Electronics]] and [[Digital Electronics]].

Electronics is considered a branch of [[physics]]. ''The beginnings of electronics can be traced to experiments with electricity. In the 1880s [[Thomas Edison|Thomas Alva Edison]] and others observed the flow of current between elements in an evacuated glass tube. The invention of the transistor at [[Bell Labs]] (1947) initiated a progressive miniaturization of electronic components that by the mid 1980s resulted in high-density microprocessors, which in turn led to tremendous advances in computer technology and computer-based automated systems.''
