Answer to the question number 01

Computer: A computer is a machine that process calculation and operation based


on a instructions provided by a software or hardware program .

It is designed to execute applications and provides a variety of solutions by


combining integrated hardware and software components .

Some application of computer in communication is given below :

1) E-mail( Electronic mail ) :

It is a method of exchanging messages ("mail") between people using


electronic devices

2) Audio/video conferencing:

. Software tells the computer what to do and how to do.

Hardware : The mechanical device that makes up the computer are called
hardware. The generic term ‘ refers’ to any parts of hardware .

Mainframe computer: A powerful multi user computer capable of supporting


thousands of users simultaneously.

Government organizations uses mainframes to run their business operations.

Banks educational institutions and insurance companies use mainframe computer


to store data about their customers, students and insurance policy holders

Answer to the question no : 3

Memory: A memory is just like a human brain. It is used to store data and
instructions . Computer memory is the storage space in the computer, where data
is to be processed and instructions required for processing are stored.

Cache memory: cache memory is a very high spreed semiconductor memory


who is can be speed up to CPU .

It act as a buffer between the CPU and the main memory. It used to hold those
part of data the program which are most frequently used by the CPU

The parts of data and program are transferred form the disk to cache memory by
the operating system, from where the CPU can access them.
Answer to the question no:4

CRT Monitor: Monitor is the most common output device on most PC.

Cathode Ray Tube is an electronic gun near the black of the monitor. the gun
shoots a beam of electronic through a magnetic coil , which arm the beam at the
pixels.

LCD Monitor(liquid crystal display): creates image with a special kind of


liquid crystal that is normally transparent but become opaque when charged with
electricity.

Microphone: Audio input to the computer. Sound card is a special device inside
the computer which translates analog signals from the microphone to digital
signal.

Answer to the question no: 5
