Thomas Edison favored and promoted DC current. He claimed it was safer than AC. However it was almost impossible to send DC current over a long distance so AC became the standard for the world.

What is the difference between electrical and electronics measuring instruments?

In the time that an electronic field was invented by Thomas Edison in 1883, electrical devices already exist 100 years ago. The difference between this to devices depends how it manipulates electricity in the field of work, electrical take the electric energy then transform it in the form of heat, light or motion while the electronics are designed to manipulate the electrical current and it also is doing so much more.

Which item would not increase voltage and generate an electrical current?

A simple resistor would not increase voltage or generate an electrical current. Resistors are used to limit the flow of current in a circuit and dissipate energy in the form of heat, but they do not add energy to the system. Therefore, they cannot increase voltage or generate electrical current on their own.
