What is the building block of all PC’s? A special kind of electrical switch.
A
Computer
B
Transistor
C
Hard Drive
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common electronic component is the “transistor” which works as a sort of amplifying valve for a flow of electrons. The transistor is a “solid state” device, meaning it has no moving parts. It is a basic building block used to construct more complex electronic components.

Detailed explanation-2: -The CPU is the central processor of a computer. It is built of an ever-growing number of electronic circuits enabling it to carry out the basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output operation instructions for the computer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transistors are the building blocks of modern electronic devices. Your cell phones, iPods, and computers all depend on them to operate. Thanks to today’s microfabrication technology, transistors can be made very tiny and be massively produced.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transistors are made of a semiconductor materials (silicon or germanium) with three terminals that allow for an electric current to be amplified and prevent or allow the flow of current from one transistor to the next.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solution : Devices in which a controlled flow of electrons can be obtained are called basic building blocks of an electronic circuit.
