Computer Fundamentals - IC3 questions with verified
answers
Backup Ans✓✓✓ It can be made by copying files under a different
name or by copying them to another directory, another drive, or a
different storage media. It is used to replace or restore files if they
should become lost or corrupted.
Bandwidth Ans✓✓✓ The range of frequencies that a communication
cable or channel can carry. In the computer world, it generally refers to
the amount of data that can be carried by a specific cable or bus
Binary Number System Ans✓✓✓ In our everyday lives we use a
decimal numbering system containing 10 digits, 0 through 9. Computers
use a _______________ which contains only 2 numbers, 0 and 1, called
binary digits or bits.
Bootable Disk Ans✓✓✓ A floppy disk that contains the necessary
system files that will complete the computers boot up sequence and load
a basic Operating System.
Bus Ans✓✓✓ The electronic pathways that link different devices to
each other.
Cable Ans✓✓✓ Wires or a bundle of wires in a protective plastic or
rubber covering, with connectors used to join the different components,
peripherals and resources associated with your computer system.
, Cache Ans✓✓✓ An area of high speed memory set aside to store
frequently accessed data.
Card Ans✓✓✓ Refers to a printed circuit board (adapter board or
expansion card) that installs into one of the expansion slots in your
computer, expanding the capabilities of your system, allowing it to
communicate with external devices such as monitors or speakers.
Circuit Board Ans✓✓✓ Boards used in electronic devices that are made
from an insulating material and contain electronic components that are
interconnected to form a circuit or group of circuits that perform a
specific function.
Client-Server Networks Ans✓✓✓ A type of network in which a server
directs the clients' requests for resources.
CMOS (Complimentary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) Ans✓✓✓ This is
one of two technologies used to produce or manufacture microchips. The
other is TTL or Transistor Transistor Logic. Although ______ is a little
slower and much more susceptible to ESD or static electricity, it uses
less power and generates a lot less heat and has replaced the bulkier
chips in PCs. All of today's CPUs and memory chips are ______ chips.
Because your computer's configuration or setup is stored in a _____
chip, it has sometimes been labeled _____ setup, or just plain ______.
So if someone suggests you check your ______, they mean you should
look in your setup program.
