[#1091] A computer is a box full of electronic
Correct Answer

(A) Switching devices

Explanation

Solution: A network switch (also called switching hub, bridging hub, officially MAC bridge) is a computer networking device that connects devices together on a computer network by using packet switching to receive, process, and forward data to the destination device.

[#1092] What are the concentric circles on floppy disks know as?
Correct Answer

(A) Tracks

Explanation

Solution: The concentric circles on the floppy disks are known as tracks. These tracks are further divided into pie-shaped sections known as sectors.

[#1093] A one-bit signal that indicates the start of data transmission by an asynchronous device is
Correct Answer

(D) Start bit

Explanation

Solution: A one-bit signal that indicates the start of data transmission by an asynchronous device is Start bit. In telecommunication and data transmission, serial communication is the process of sending data one bit at a time, sequentially, over a communication channel or computer bus.

[#1094] Registers which are partially visible to users and used to hold conditional codes (bits set by the CPU hardware as the result of operations), are known as
Correct Answer

(D) Flags

Explanation

Solution: 1) Registers which are partially visible to users and used to hold conditional codes (bits set by the CPU hardware as the result of operations), are known as Flags. 2) A bit field is a data structure used in computer programming. 3) A software or hardware mark that signals a particular condition or status.

[#1095] An electronic circuit with about 20 transistors fabricated on a silicon chip is known as
Correct Answer

(A) SSI

Explanation

Solution: An electronic circuit with about 20 transistors fabricated on a silicon chip is known as SSI. Short for small-scale integration, SSI is a chip generation first introduced in 1964 with between 1 and 10 transistors and 1 and 12 logic gates. 2. When referring to an Internet web page SSI is short for server-side include and is a file that includes Apache executable server code.
