Computer organization

The questions from computer organization usually test the basic knowledge that one acquires at the beginning of computer learning. It also tests the knowledge of candidates on various computer parts and their functioning. The computer system is formed when 2-3 parts combine and perform individually as well as coherently.

                                                                                                                                                Source: Flickr

You will have various sets of questions in this article which can help you ease the pressure for this section. You can also practice the questions at the end. The computer consists of many different parts of input units, output units, memory units, etc. And we will discuss with you in detail about each of these parts.

Output units

Output units allow the computers to send the data to other users. Usually, a display device is considered as the output unit because it displays the texts, graphics, and other information. The common examples of output units are speakers, monitors, printers, etc.

Input units

The devices that are used to convey the information to the computer are called input devices. The primary examples of input units are a keyboard, pointing devices, audio/video devices, etc. With the help of input unit, a user can transfer the data to a computer for storing, displaying and processing data.

Some of the functions of input devices:

1. Pointing devices: This will allow you to point to the software on the computer and open it. It will interact with the graphical interface.
2. Keyboard: It will send the various alphanumeric data into the computer.
3. Audio/video devices: It will allow you to input the sound and pictures into the computer.

CPU

CPU is known as the brains of the computer. Without CPU a computer cannot work. It allows the computer to interpret and execute the various data through software and hardware. There are three various functioning of CPU. They are:

1. Memory unit
2. Arithmetic-logic unit
3. Control unit
