Note: Motor is both mechanical and electrical component. Such components are called electromechanical
components.
Electrical Components Electronics components
Electrical circuits have no decision making Electronic circuits have the decision making
capability. An electric circuit simply powers the capability. An electronic circuit can interpret a
machine with electricity. signal or an instruction and perform a task to
suit the circumstance.
Electrical is something that deals with High Electronics is something which works in
voltage electrical domain on Lower voltage and
current.
