A ......... is used to draw heat away from the cpu.
Correct Answer
HeatsinkExplanation
A heatsink is a component used to draw heat away from the CPU. It is typically made of metal and has fins or other structures that increase its surface area. When the CPU generates heat during operation, the heatsink absorbs the heat and dissipates it into the surrounding air, preventing the CPU from overheating. This helps to maintain optimal performance and prolong the lifespan of the CPU.Rate this question:

.......... saves the documents and applications to a temporary file on the hard drive. This question regards power states.
Correct Answer
Hibernate

Hibernate is the power state that saves the documents and applications to a temporary file on the hard drive. When a computer enters hibernate mode, it saves the current state of the system to the hard drive and then shuts down completely. This allows the computer to quickly resume from where it left off when it is powered back on. Hibernate is different from sleep mode, as sleep mode saves the system state to RAM instead of the hard drive.Rate this question:

What is the movement of single bits of information in a single cycle?
- A.
Serial Data Transfer
- B.
Parallel Data Transfer
- C.
Robot Data Transfer
- D.
Cake Data Transfer
Correct Answer
A. Serial Data TransferExplanation
Serial data transfer refers to the movement of single bits of information in a single cycle. This means that the data is transmitted one bit at a time, sequentially, rather than in parallel. In serial data transfer, the bits are sent one after another, typically over a single wire or channel. This method is commonly used in communication systems and computer networks, where it allows for efficient and reliable transmission of data. Unlike parallel data transfer, which sends multiple bits simultaneously, serial data transfer is slower but requires fewer wires and is more cost-effective.Rate this question:
