Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If the microprocessor has 10 address lines then the number of memory locations it is able to address is
A
512
B
1024
C
2048
D
none
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So to address 2048 (or 2K, where K means 2^10 or 1024), you need 11 bits, so 11 address lines.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, the address bus width is 10 bits.

Detailed explanation-3: -The higher eight significant lines of the data bus of the processor are tied to the 8-data lines of a 16 Kbyte memory that can store one byte in each of its 16K address locations.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: It is 2^14 memory locations can be addressed by a microprocessor with 14 address lines.
