Read and translate the text: electronics
Electronics is a science which studies the properties of electrons, the laws of their motion, and the laws of the transformation of various kinds of energy through the media of electrons. The basic elements in electronics are the electron tube and the transistor. Electronic techniques are applied in many fields, including industry, communication, defense and entertaining.
Industrial electronics is the science of electronic processes. It deals with the technology of design, construction of electronic devices. The industrial application of electronics includes control gauging, counting and measuring, speed regulations, etc.
The research in the field of electronics gave us radar devices, computers, tape-recorders betatron and a lot of medical tools. Semiconductor devices which have replaced electron tubes reduce the size of instruments.
The appearance of the transistor made a great progress in the development of the field. It was the first step in miniaturization of electronic devices. Then it led to the development of large-scale integrated circuits. Now hundreds of circuits can be placed on the space of one square inch.
Electronics makes a great contribution to automation. Electronic computers have provided the basis for the construction of automatic - lines, automated units, shops and whole plants, tools with programmed control, robots and manipulators.
Radio-electronic systems ensure reliable communication with spaceships and space stations, satellites. Electronics has penetrated into all the spheres of human activity from house hold appliances to artificial intelligence. Electronics has a lot of advantages due to its microscope size, high speed, low cost and reliability. Today it is the most perspective and dynamic technology.
