CISC 101 (100% Correct answers)

True or False: The ENIAC computer was remarkable in that it weighed less than 20 pounds and could be carried in a backpack. correct answers False True or False: Modern computers can only operate in binary at their most fundamental level because transistors, which are the basis of a CPU, can only be "on" or "off" correct answers True True or False: The word "computer" was used to describe the job position of the female operators of the ENIAC. correct answers True True or False. Modern transistors are made from doped aluminium. correct answers False: Modern transistors are made from pure silicon or germanium! True or False. A full bit adder can be constructed using two transistors and a resistor correct answers False: A full bit adder needs 22 transistors True or False: Transistors in an OR gate are wired in series (one after the other) correct answers False: Transistors in an OR gate are wired in parallel. It takes two transistors! True or False: When describing computer architecture, the term RAM stands for "Random Accidental Memory" correct answers False: RAM stands for Random Access Memory True or False: An early step in the construction of an integrated circuit it the growth and refining of a large single crystal of semiconducting material. correct answers True: True or False: The acronym "CPU" stands for "Central Processing Unit". correct answers True True or False: Computer instructions must be translated to binary (base 2) before they can be processed. correct answers True True or False: The ENIAC was built to aid in the war effort in the mid 1940's. correct answers True True or False: A NOT gate can be constructed from one transistor and a resistor. correct answers True: A not gate can be constructed using one transistor and a resistor! True or False: "Volatile" memory like RAM cannot hold any information when it is not powered. correct answers True True or False: ROM memory is volatile. correct answers False
