    Bridge Diodes current regulation are considered physics? I mean, yeah, but about as much as any other science field, right?

          Site, but that’s like saying “writing is an application of language”. The profession of writing is immensely different from the profession of inventing or studying a language. And the profession of electrical engineering is substantially different from the profession of studying electrical phenomena. There’s certainly overlap but it’s different fields.

        So you’re saying Electronics is Electromagnetics is Physics?

        In that case Biology is Chemistry is Physics and therefor Medical Doctors have degrees in Physics. If you feel like fighting me I will await you out back.

          First of all, yes - Electromagnetics is a branch of physics. James Maxwell was a physicist.

          Second - Electromagnetics is not electronics. Electronics is a field that applies electricity and magnetism to make useful things.

            Yeah but Electromagnetics is the DEEP magic behind electronics.

            You could, if you wanted, use quantum mechanics and electromagnetic field theory to do circuit design. But unless you’re building quantum computers or doing simple circuit analysis and wanted a real challenge applying Kirchhoff’s Laws, there’s no need.

            So you can use the simplified electronics model where the current (and therefore primary charge carriers) is positive.
