COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -Most digital signals are binary; that is, they signal the digits 0 and 1 by shifting between two distinct physical states (e.g., a high voltage and a low voltage). Each 0 or 1 is a bit (binary digit).

Detailed explanation-2: -Data is encoded using binary code consisting of 0s and 1s. The 1 in binary code represents true or ‘on, ‘ whereas the 0 represents false or ‘off. ‘ The code instructs computers to transmit digital signals in electronic impulses, and combinations of 0 and 1 will produce different commands for the computer.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a digital system, binary values of 0 and 1 are given a voltage level so they can be distinguished during the flow of information. Most commonly, a value of 1 is represented by 5V, whereas, a binary value of 0 is given 0V or ground potential.

Detailed explanation-4: -The simplest possible signal of any kind that can be employed to transmit messages, the binary signal consists of only two possible values. These values are represented by the binary digits, or bits, 1 and 0.
