Electronic = computer/small parts
Electric = Tools, cars, etc. Things that are whole.
That is what I think at least.
"He has a electric car."
"Look at all the electronics in that computer."
"I love using my electric saw."
"This electronic watch is pretty neat."
Just a few examples I could immediately think of.
