Understanding Computers and Switches

What is the fundamental component that both mechanical and modern computers are made of?

• Motors

• Switches

• Gears

• Wires

How does the Digi-Comp perform calculations?

• By using electrical circuits

• By writing code

• By setting the position of switches

• By using magnetic fields

What happens when the Digi-Comp adds 1 to a switch that is already full?

• It displays an error

• It stops the calculation

• It carries the 1 to the next switch

• It resets the switch to 0

What is the maximum number the Digi-Comp can count up to with its 31 switches?

• 31

• 63

• 127

• 255

What is the main advantage of semiconductor switches in modern electronics?

• They have moving parts

• They are easier to program

• They are larger and more durable

• They are solid state and energy efficient
