Computer Science Notes

Memory Units
Q1: Write your complete name (including spaces) and then count number of bytes & bits
required to store your full name in memory.

Ans 1: Mateen Khan: This name will require 11 bytes that are equal to 11*8 = 88.

Q2: Write the complete relation between all memory units (bits, nibble, byte, KB, MB, GB
& TB)
such as....

Ans 2)

1 Nibble = 4 bits
1 Byte = 8 bits
1 KB =1000 Byte
1 MB = 1000 KB
1 GB = 1000 MB
1 TB = 1000 GB

Data Transmission
Q1) What is transmission?
Ans1) It is the transfer of data from one place to another.
Q2) Name the three factors involved in data transmission?
Ans 2) The three factors are: direction of the data transmission, method of transmission, method
of synchronization.
Q3) Describe with examples the types of data transmission according to direction factor?
Ans 3: The three types are:
Simplex data transmission: In one direction only. Example: data being sent from a computer to a
printer.
Half Duplex data transmission: In both directions but not at the same time. Example: a phone
conversation between two people where only one person speaks at a time.
Full Duplex data transmission: In both directions simultaneously. Example: a broadband
connection on a phone line.
Q4) Describe with examples the types of data transmission according to method?
Ans4) SERIAL DATA TRANSMISSION: When data is sent, one bit at a time, over a single
wire or channel. Example: sending data from a computer to a modem for
transmission over a telephone line.
PARALLEL DATA TRANSMISSION is when several bits of data (usually 1 byte) are sent
down several wires or channels at the same time. Example: sending data to a printer from a
computer using a ribbon connector.
Accessing the internet

Accessing the internet from Phone


Advantages: Very portable, can be used anywhere provided with cellular network. A person is
more likely to have a phone at all time. Easy to use.
Disadvantages: Display is smaller. Expensive to use if Wi-Fi not available. Keyboard is very
small.
Accessing the internet from Laptop
Advantages: Laptops are much easier to carry as compared to desktops. Touchpad is not as
easy to use as a mouse but is much easier to use as compared to Mobile phones.
Disadvantages: Laptops require expensive dongles to access Internet. Processor is not as
powerful as a desktop, so speed is slow.
Accessing the internet from Phone
Advantages: Faster than other devices. Use of mouse and keyboard makes navigation easier.
Disadvantages: Desktops are not very portable. Desktops require expensive dongles to access
Internet.
