What is computer?

Computer is an electronic device that can accept data store data manipulate data and display information. Write the name of system unit parts? Motherboard, CPU, RAM, ROM, Power supply unit, Casing, Ports, Slots, BIOS Battery cell, Hard Disk, Floppy Disk, CD-Drive What is CPU? Central Processing Unit is the brain of the computer which is combination of ALU+CU. It performs Arithmetic and Logical operations. There are two type of the CPU 1. Slot Based CPU 2. Socket Based CPU Socket based CPU are used these days. There speed is measure in MHz, GHz. ZIF socket is used to connect CPU on mother board. What is software? Set of instructions written in any programming language to control the hardware is called software. The logical parts of the computer are also known as software. User cant touch software any new up gradation is called version. There are two types of the software. 1. System software 2. Application software System software: Those software which performs basic functionality of the computer. Computer cant boot without system software. These are the bridge between user and hardware. For example MS Windows, Linux , Unix, DOS Applications software: Those software which performs some specific tasks. Computer can boot without any application software. What is Difference Between software & Hardware? Software Hardware 1. Set of instruction to control the 1. Tangible parts of the computer hardware is called software. are known as Hardware. 2. These are logical parts of the 2. These are physical parts of the computer. computer. 3. We cant Touch Software. 3. We can touch hardware. 4. Upgrading in software is called 4. Upgrading in hardware is called version. model. 5. The process to create software 5. The process to create hardware is called software development. is called hardware manufacturing.

What is difference between System software & Application Software?

System Software 1. Those software which performs basic functionality of the computer are system software. 2. System cant boot without system software. 3. These are journalized software. 4. System Software is Software that acts as an interface between you and the hardware 5. It provides utility like File management,User authentication, disk fragmentation etc for examples DOS, MS Windows, Linux, Unix

Application Software 1. Those software which performs some specific tasks are application software. 2. System could be boot without applications software. 3. These are specific software. 4. Application software is the software that you install onto your Operating System. 5. We cant run application software without installing application software. For examples MS-Excel, Corel Draw, In page

What is difference between serial and parallel port? Serial communication sends each piece of information one bit at a time on one wire, and parallel communication sends as many bits of information at a time as there are parallel wires. Define Input Devices. Those devices which collects data from user and send towards CPU for required functionality is called input devices. For example keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, microphone etc Define Output Devices. Those devices which collect information form CPU and send towards user for further use are called output devices like projector, monitor, printer, and speaker Keyboard: It is an input device which just like type writer. It provides the data in the form of number, instructions, alphabetic. A button on the keyboard is called key. There are 101 keys on a standard keyboard. There are 256 combinations on the key board keys are divided into 4 categories. 1. Function keys. 2. Alpha numeric keys. 3. Navigator keys. 4. Numeric keys. Types of the keyboard. PS/2 Keyboard, Wireless keyboard, MIDI keyboard. Mouse: It is an input device. It provides data in the form of instructions. The positions of the mouse are present by a arrow which know as pointer. It has two button left button and right button.

Types of the mouse: PS/2 Mouse, Wireless mouse, Optical mouse. Monitor: It is an output device which is just like a TV. It display information in the form of graphic. It also known as soft copy generator. A display dot on the monitor is called pixel. Types of monitor: 1. CRT monitor 2. LCD monitor 3. TFT monitor Floppy Disk: A removable disk that stores information magnetically, also called a diskette. You can use a floppy disk to exchange information between computers, or to make a backup of your files. Floppy disks are 3.5 inches in diameter and they are enclosed in a rigid plastic shell. It has two physical size 5.25 3.25 Data capacity: 1.44MB data could be store in 3.25 floppy disk. What is difference between RAM & ROM? RAM 1. Random Access Memory. 2. It is volatile memory. 3. lost the data on disconnection of the electricity 4. it is temporary memory. 5. CMOS is technology used to build RAM. 6. User can delete, update data store in RAM ROM 1. Read only Memory. 2. It is non- volatile memory. 3. Data will remain save no matter computer shutdown. 4. it is permanent memory. 5. BIOS is the software of the ROM. 6. User cant delete, update data store in ROM.

What id Difference between LAN & WAN? Local Area Network: 1. Network over a small geographical area is called LAN. 2. Also known as Ethernet. 3. Used NIC as connection Device. 4. Number of user are limited 5. Data speed upto 100Mbps 6. UTP(Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable)use as medium 7. School/Colleges Labs are examples of LAN Wide Area Network: 1. Network Over Large Geographical area is called WAN 2. Also Known as Internet

3. Used Modem as connection devices 4. Number of users are Unlimited 5. Data speed up to 56Kbps 6. Telephone cable used as medium 7. Internet is an example of WAN. What are topology and its types? The geometrical shape of the network is called Topology. 1. Star Topology 2. Bus Topology 3. Ring Topology 4. Tree Topology 5. Mesh Topology Define IP address? An IP address is a unique 32-bit number that every computer connected to the internet is assigned. It consist on 4 parts of 8-bit each part IP address = Network address + Host address IP address are divided into 4 Class For Example 192.168.0.24 What is Hard Disk? Also known as HDD (Hard Disk Drive) it is main storage in the computer most of data store in hard disk. It is secondary storage device. Data store in magnetic form in hard disk. Capacity up to TB. Its speed measure in RPM. What is difference B/w Impact and Non-impact Printers? Impact Printers: Those printers in which printing mechanism actually strikes the paper to produce results on the paper are called Impact printers. These printers are every slow in speed. The printers can only produce text. They produce large noise. They used special type of papers. For example Daisy Wheel Dot Matrix Line Printer Non-Impact Printers: Those printers in which there is no physical contact between printing mechanism and the paper. These printers are very fast in speed. They can print both text and images. For Example LASER Printer Ink Jet Printers What is difference between MS-Word & MS-Excel?

MS-Word is application software which is used for text editing like letter writing, application writing and book writing it has two extension .doc and .dot While MS-Excel is application software but I is used for calculation purposes. It is has only one .xls What is Email? Electronic mail which is the facility of the internet. Through email user can send and receive messages over internet. User have to create email account on any email server For example, www.yahoo.com www.gmail.com www.hotmail.com What is protocol? The set of rules to communicate over a network is called protocol. Very communication is involves some protocol. For example FTP File Transfer Protocol use to transfer files over netwrk SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol POP Post Office protocol HTTP Hyper text transfer protocol TCP/IP Transmission control protocol/ internet protocol Define Primary Key? Uniquely identifying attribute in an entity is called Primary Key. AS NIC# is primary key in staff table. Define Composite Key? If Primary key is consist over more than one attribute than that key is called composite key. As CLASS NO and ROLL NO both are primary key in a student table. Define Entity? Very object that have some attribute are called Entity. As student is an entity in a school data base. What is DOS? Disk Operating System is CUI based system software which is command based. software Name Extension with respect to their usage: MS Word .doc, .dot Use for text Editing
