Is using an electric mixer and whisk the same? or is there a difference?

I've got a recipe that calls for whisking. However, everytime I do I know I get extremely tired (cause I do big batches) so i was wondering if i used an electric mixer it would do the same job as a whisk. If not then it would be good to know as to why. Thanks!

    Basically they do the same job. However, depending what you're doing, you have to watch that an electric beater doesn't overbeat because that can happen more easily and very quickly with an electric mixer.
