Dr. Bill I am with you-- I think of electronics as more likely to be low voltage-- electrical components, like transistors (remember them?) chips (basicly a collection of transistors and switches packed into a small space), and other low voltage electrical components.. (but some electronics can be high voltage-- your computer might work on mostly 5 and 40 volt circuts-- but not your laser printer-- or your monitor-- they pack enough "juice" to do you in!)
Electronic would also include the study of the electricity, Ohms law, conductivity, generation, storage (batteries or capacitors)-- and natural (static or lightnening) and man made electricity. etc..
Electrical can be anything from your basic 5 vt circut to generators-- Kila and mega kila watts-- anything that uses electricity as a power source-- everything from the generation of electricity to the components that use the energy.
electricity is the energy -- the root word coming from the greek for amber-- which can be rubbed with cloth to generate static electricity. So don't put those real amber worry beads into your pocket-- unless you don't mind a shock when you go to reach for them!
