Class 11 Computer Science Chapter 1

SUMMARY :

A computing device, also referred as computer, processes the input data as per given instructions
to generate desired output.

Computer system has four physical components viz. (i) CPU, (ii) Primary Memory, (iii) Input Device
and (iv) Output Devices. They are referred to as hardware of computer.

Computer system has two types of primary memories viz. (i) RAM, the volatile memory and
(ii) ROM, the non-volatile memory.

System bus is used to transfer data, addresses and control signals between components of the
computer system.

A microprocessor is a small-sized electronic component inside a computer that performs basic
arithmetic and logical operations on data.

Microcontroller is a small computing device which has a CPU, a fixed amount of RAM, ROM and other
peripherals embedded on a single chip.

Software is a set of instructions written to achieve the desired tasks and are mainly categorised
as system software, programming tools and application software.

Hardware of a computer cannot function on its own. It needs software to be operational or functional.

Operating system is an interface between the user and the computer and supervises the working of
computer system, i.e., it monitors and controls the hardware and software of the computer system.
