A field is a collection of bytes that contains information about an item. Example- Name of student, his/her class. A record is a collection of inter-related fields. 5. Write a short-note on 3-D printing. Ans. 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. Object is created by adding material layer-by-layer. Additive Manufacturing allow designers to create complex part of machines, aeroplanes and cars. 6. Write short notes on the following. Ans. (a) Application software: It consists of programs that are designed to do specific tasks, such as payroll, inventory, word processing, graphics etc.(b) System software: It performs the basic functions that are necessary to operate a computer system. It controls the various resources of a computer system. Operating system (OS) is an example of system software. 7. What is the relationship between the computer hardware and software? Ans. The hardware and software together make a computer system. Hardware is the physical component of the system and software are the instructions or commands that make the hardware components operational. 8. Explain the types of printers. Ans. There are three types of printers: (a) Dot Matrix Printer: It contains movable print heads with pins that strike ribbon placing dots on paper. These printers are less expensive but very noisy. The speed given in cps (character per second). (b) Inkjet Printer: It forms the letters and images on the paper by spraying streams of quick drying ink. The speed is given in Ipm (lines per minute). (c) Laser Printer: It uses laser technology to print images on the paper. It gives the best quality output and are the most expensive. The speed is given in ppm (pages per minute) 9. Explain computer memory and its types. Ans. Computer memory: The storage device of a computer system is known as its memory. Memory unit can receive data, hold it, and deliver according to the instructions from the control unit. There are two types of computer memory: (i) Primary Memory: It is often called the working memory, internal memory or main memory of a computer system. RAM and ROM are two major types of primary memory. (ii) Secondary memory: It is often called the external memory. It is used to store data for a long time. Secondary memory is permanent in nature. Examples of secondary memory are hard disk, compact disk, pen drive, etc.Q10. What do you do when your computer is hung? Ans.
