    The history of electronics began around 600 BC when Thales of Miletus discovered static electricity by rubbing fur on amber. Key developments included the coinage of the term "electricity" in 1600, the invention of the battery in 1800, the discovery of electromagnetic induction in 1831, and the development of the telephone in 1876. The 20th century saw major advances such as the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958, the laser in 1960, and the mobile phone in 1973. Today, electronics continues to rapidly evolve with new technologies like smartphones.

    History of Electronics

    Prepared by:
    Elmarie G. Recorba
    What is Electronics?

    • The branch of physics that deals with the


    emission and effects of electrons and with the
    use of electronic devices.
    • Electronics refers to the flow of charge
    (moving electrons) through non-metal
    conductors (mainly semiconductors), whereas
    electrical refers to the flow of charge through
    metal conductors.
    What is Electronics?
    • is the study of how to control the flow of
    electrons.
    • It deals with circuits that are made with
    parts called components and connecting
    wires that control the flow of electricity
    and direct it to do useful things.
    When does Electronics
    Begin?
