    AIM: TO STUDY DIFFERENT PARTS OF A COMPUTER

    SCOPE: knowledge of computer hardware

    PARTS OF A COMPUTER
    Computer consists of various physical components known as hardware devices.
    The basic parts of a computer system. :

    CPU(Central Processing Unit)

    The central processing unit or the microprocessor is the core of the


    computer. It has the electronic circuitry to process the input data to
    get the required information. It is the processor which executes the
    instructions.
    Another component known as 'Random Access
    Memory'(RAM) resides inside this unit and it stores the data that the CPU uses for
    processing. But this memory is volatile which means that the data will be erased
    once the computer is switched off.

    Mouse

    A mouse is a small device used to point to and select items on


    your computer screen.
    A mouse usually has two buttons: a primary button (usually the
    left button) and a secondary button. Many mice also have a wheel
    between the two buttons which enables smooth scrolling.
    When you move the mouse with your hand, a pointer on your
    screen moves in the same direction. When you want to select an item, you point to
    the item and then click (press and release) the primary button. Pointing and
    clicking with your mouse is the main way to interact with your computer. We'll see
    more about using the mouse in a later chapter.

    Keyboard

    A keyboard is used for typing the text. Apart from letters and
    numbers, it has some special keys too. The top row contains
    the 'function keys' for different functions. On the right side of
    the keyboard, we see the 'Numeric Keypad' which is used to enter numbers
    quickly. Arrow keys known as the 'Navigation Keys' allows easy navigation
    through the page.

    Monitor

    A monitor displays the information for the user to view them. The
    information could be in text or graphical form. The area in which
    the information is displayed is called the screen.
    There are basically two types of monitors viz., CRT Monitors and
    LCD Monitors. The LCD monitors are being widely used these
    days.

    Storage
    Disk Drives are storage devices that store information and preserves it even when
    the computer is switched off.

    Hard Disk

    Hard Disk Drive stores information on a hard disk with a magnetic


    surface. It is normally inside the system unit. In most of the
    systems, the hard disk acts as the primary storage, storing almost all
    the program files and other data. Hard disks can store massive amount of
    information depending upon their configuration.

    CD/DVD Drive

    Most of the computers today come with a CD/DVD Drive which


    is located on the front side of the CPU Box. CD drives use lasers
    to read data from a CD, and if it is a writable CD drive, you can
    also write data onto CDs.
    DVD Drives are similar to CD Drive, except that the amount of data that a DVD
    can hold is much much more than a CD.

    Floppy Disk Drives

    Floppy disk drives store information on floppy disks. floppy disks


    can store only a small amount of data. Moreover, they retrieve
    information very slowly and are more prone to damage. For these
    reasons, floppy disk drives are less popular than they used to be
    once.

    FINDINGS: Students are able to identify the work handled by various


    hardware devices in a computer system.
