Electronics

[Crackle]

I am going with this from Wikipedia  

Electronics is distinct from electrical and electro-mechanical science and technology, which deal with the generation, distribution, switching, storage, and conversion of electrical energy to and from other energy forms using wires, motors, generators, batteries, switches, relays, transformers, resistors, and other passive components.

I think that is what I said, more or less, but not in so many words, well almost.
Electronics have active components.
For definition of "active" see https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textboo...e-devices/
By that definition a coherer is not an active device.
