MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -A network topology is the physical and logical arrangement of nodes and connections in a network. Nodes usually include devices such as switches, routers and software with switch and router features. Network topologies are often represented as a graph.

Detailed explanation-2: -Physical Topology : Physical topology indicates arrangement of different elements of a network. It reflects physical layout of devices and cables to a form a connected network. It is concerned with essentials of network ignoring minute details like transfer of data and device type.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a communication network. Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks, industrial fieldbusses and computer networks.

Detailed explanation-5: -A physical topology explains how computers, devices or nodes connect with each other in a network based on their location. It involves assessing the physical layout of network cables and workstations. Conversely, a logical topology explains how data flows from one device to another based on network protocols.
