Affect & Effect

Can anyone please explain me the difference between affect and effect.

affect: verb = ‘to have an influence on somebody/something’: Does television affect children’s behaviour? It is not a noun.
effect: noun = ‘result, influence’: Does television have an effect on children’s behaviour?
effect verb is quite rare and formal and means ‘to achieve or produce’. They hope to effect a reconciliation.

The above is taken from this dictionary:
