Subject: Re: Electric vs. electrical
In the classic definitions, "Electrical" means "related to electricity,"
while "electric" refers to electricity as a power source (generation,
transmission or consumption). An electrical engineer works on electric
generators, electric power lines, electric motors, etc.
