A much pondered question. The borderline is very fuzzy and mostly in the eye of the beholder.

Electronics, in my view, is the study of active devices and their interrelationship. An electric motor is electrical, but the ignitrons and their control devices that control it are electronic.

The dividing line for many years was whether it required semi-conductors, if so, it was electronics rather than just electrics.
