Electronics refers to the flow of charge (moving electrons) through nonmetal conductors (mainly semiconductors), whereas electrical refers to the flow of charge through metal conductors. For example, flow of charge through silicon, which is not a metal, would come under electronics; whereas flow of charge through copper, which is a metal, would come under electrical. This distinction started around 1908 with the invention by Lee De Forest of the triode. Until 1950 this field was called "Radio technics" because its principal application was the design and theory of radio transmitters and receivers.
