Here is a a definition about the therms electric, electronic, electronics and electromagnetic and a list of all the countries in the world. A complete list of all information resourses is given   HERE.


What is the different between electric, electronic and electromagnetic

Many words in the language have a rather fuzzy definition or they are used in one type of circumstance in a way that do not correspond logically to the way the word is used in another circumstance. These facts hold for the words electric, electronic, electronics and electromagnetic.

The words have however in common that they are used about devices driven by electricity, and thus electrons in motion and also magnetic fields generated by moving electrons are a common property of these devices.

The term "electric" is generally used about all types of devices that furnish electricity to homes and workplaces and that distribute electricity within houses and rooms. The term is also used about devices doing mechanic work, used for heating or used for general lighting.

Electric is also used for plants or installations that produce electricity, typically batteries, solar cell panels and power plants.

The term "electronic" is used about devices driven by electrcity and that store manipulate and present information of any kind in the form of symbols, sound or pictures. The term is typically used about computers, computing devices, phones, calculators. monitors, loadspeakers, amplifiers, automatation technology and the like and circuits within such devices.

A typical property of most electronic devices is the use of semiconductor technology like transistors, diodes and thyristors, even though an electronic device needs not contain such components. The term electronic is often also extended to any type of installation that use semiconductor components, for example installations in power plants that use large semiconductor devices to swich on and off current and lead current in prefered directions. These devices are typically called "power electronics".

The term "electronics" is used when one speak about groups of electronic devices without refering to any specific device, when speaking about circuits within an electronic device and when speaking generally about electronic devices. It is also used about the construction and building of electronic devices. the term also means "science of electronic devices".

The term "electromagnetic" is used about electric devices where the magnetic field generated by the current is used for mechanical work or for transmission of energy from one place to another. An electric motor is a typical electromagnetic device. A transformer is also such a device, since it uses current in one ciruit to generate periodically changing magnetic fields and that field is used to generate a new current in another circuit with a different volatage.


Countries in the world

It is easy to find lists of all countries in the word on the Internet. But curiously enough, to find the countries just listed in a simple fasion like the list here, is very difficult. The lists you find nearly allways are integreated in tables, ordered in columns, have hyperlinks, have fancy formatting, etc. Sometimes you just need such an easy list to work out from, for example when you need country names on your web-side. Therefore we present this list as a resource for our visitors.
