Q3. Answer the following questions.
1. What is the function of a CPU?
Ans. CPU is the main unit of a computer it controls all the internal and external devices of a
computer and performs arithmetical and logical operations.
2. What are the components of a CPU ?explain them briefly.
Ans. There are three main components in a CPU-
a. Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU)-
Arithmetic logic unit is a component of CPU which performs the arithmetic and logical operations on
the operands. The data and the operands act as the input for ALU and its generates the output as a
result of computation.
b. Control Unit - This unit control the operation of every other component of a computer system. It
also controls the transfer of data and instructions among the various units of computer.
c. Memory Unit - the memory unit is the principle storage of the computer its stores both data and
instructions the data and instructions can also be stored permanently in this unit so that they are
available whenever required the memory unit is link with other parts of computer and sends them the
data when needed.
d. Registers- register it is a very small data holding place in a computer processor it holds an
instruction storage address or data.
3. What is Register? Name some of them.
Ans. Register is a very small data holding place in a computer processor it holds and instruction
storage address or data there are various type of registers each register performs a specific function
the most commonly used registers are accumulator (AC)data register (DR) address register
(AR)program control(PC).
4. What is the difference between RAM and ROM
Ans. RAM- random Access Memory is a type of computer internal memory that can be accessed to
randomly whatever information we enter into the computer goes into RAM and remains there as long
as we are working on an application it is a volatile memory as data and instructions are stored
temporary during its processing only and lost forever when the computer is switch off.
ROM- read only memory is a type of memory from which information can only be read where as in
RAM information can be read from and also written to .it is a non volatile memory as it stores
information permanently data stored in ROM can neither be modified nor removed . the primary use
of ROM is during the booting process. this is the initial program used to start a computer when power
is turned on.
5. What are the various units of memory?
Ans. Nibble - group of 4 bits
Byte - group of 8 bits
Kilo byte - 1 KB= 1024 bytes
Mega Bytes- 1MB = 1024 K
Giga Byte - 1 GB = 1024 MB
Tera Bytes- 1 TB = 1024 GB
Peta Bytes- 1 PB = 1024 TB
