MBA 703 Module 2: Questions With Reliable Solutions
Hardware Correct Answer - Physical components of computing devices-
those that you can touch.
Binary Correct Answer - Bits & bytes; process signals into discrete
values.
Central Processing Unit (CPU) Correct Answer - The "brain of the
computer". Carries out the commands sent to it by the software and returns
results to be acted upon.
Types of Memory Correct Answer - 1. RAM
2. SSD
Moore's Law Correct Answer - Chip performance per dollar doubles
every eighteen to twenty-four months.
Microprocessor Correct Answer - The "brain" of the computing device.
Limits of Moore's Law Correct Answer - 1. Size
2. Heat
3. Power
Drawback of Moore's Law Correct Answer - Massive piles of e-waste.
Metcalfe's Law Correct Answer - (A.K.A. Network Externalities) The
value of a product increases at the number of users grows. (y = x^2)
Sources Where Value is Derived from Network Effects Correct Answer -
1. Exchange
2. Staying Power
3. Complementary Benefits
Monopoly Correct Answer - Market dominated by a single, powerful
seller.
Oligopoly Correct Answer - Market dominated by a small number of
powerful sellers.
, Digital Device Correct Answer - An object that processes electronic
signals into discrete values, of which there can be two or more.
Analog Signals Correct Answer - Continuous signals that can be
represented by a smooth wave pattern.
Bit Correct Answer - A blending of the two words "binary" & "digit".
Each "one", (with voltage), or "zero", (without voltage), is a discrete value.
Byte Correct Answer - A group of eight bits.
Basic Components of a Digital Device Correct Answer - 1. Central
Processing Unit (CPU)
2. Input/Output Devices (Auxillaries)
3. Memory (RAM)
4. Motherboard (Circuit Board)
5. Storage (Hard Disk & SSD)
Clock Time Correct Answer - The speed of a CPU in Hertz (Hz) [or one
cycle per second].
Motherboard (Circuit Board) Correct Answer - The CPU, memory, &
storage components, among other thing all connect into the motherboard
providing much of the bus of the computer.
Bus Correct Answer - The electrical connections between different
computer components.
Random Access Memory (RAM) Correct Answer - (A.K.A. Working
Memory). Can transfer data much faster than the hard disk; volatile in nature.
Hard Disk Correct Answer - Long-term data storage; non-volatile in
nature.
Solid State Drive (SSD) Correct Answer - Performs the same function as
a hard disk, namely long-term storage. Uses flash memory that incorporates
Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) chips,
which is much faster.
