Detailed explanation-1: -Physical network topology is the placement of the various components of a network and the different connectors usually represent the physical network cables, and the nodes represents usually the physical network devices (like switches).
Detailed explanation-2: -Physical topology refers to the interconnected structure of a local area network (LAN). The method employed to connect the physical devices on the network with the cables, and the type of cabling used, all constitute the physical topology.
Detailed explanation-3: -Physical Topology: A physical topology describes the way in which the computers or nodes are connected with each other in a computer network. It is the arrangement of various elements(link, nodes, etc.), including the device location and code installation of a computer network.
Detailed explanation-4: -The study of network topology recognizes eight basic topologies: point-to-point, bus, star, ring or circular, mesh, tree, hybrid, or daisy chain.
