3. What is Computer? A Computer is an electric device that manipulates information (collection of facts) or data. A Computer is an electronic machine that can solve different problems, process data, store & retrieve data and perform calculations faster and efficiently than humans. A computer is an electronic machine that can store and deal with large amounts of information.

4. Components: The necessary items for a particular purpose . Anything kept, furnished, or provided for a specific purpose.

5. Equipment OF computer Monitor A display screen to provide “output” to the user. It is where you view the information your are working on.

9. Components Of Computer Definition Of Components: A part or element of a larger whole, especially a part of a machine or vehicle . Or A part of a device

10. Components of Computer There are 5 Major Components of a computer. 1. Processor 2. Main memory 3. Secondary memory 4. Input devices 5. Output devices

11. 1. CPU (central processing unit) or Processor It is a small chip to receive  input  and provide the appropriate  out put. A processor is an integrated electronic circuit that performs the calculations that run a computer.

12. 2. Main memory or RAM (random access memory) main memory ,  primary memory , or  system memory ,  Random Access Memory  ( RAM ) is a hardware device that allows information to be stored and retrieved on a computer. RAM is the temporary workspace where instructions are executed and data are processed. RAM is a computer’s temporary memory , which exists as chips on the motherboard near the CPU. It stores data or programs while they are being used and requires power.

13. Secondary memory or Hard Disk Secondary memory  is where programs and data are kept on a long-term basis. Magnetic storage device in the computer.

14. Input devices An  input device  is a hardware or peripheral  device  used to send data to a computer. An input device is any device that provides  input (data) to a computer. A component or peripheral device (mouse, keyboard) that feed data or instruction into a computer for display, processing, storage, or outputting or transmission.

15. Output devices An  output device  is any  device  used to send data from a computer to another  device  or user. Any device capable of representing information from a computer. This includes display screens, printers, plotters, and synthesizers.
