COMPONENTS OF COMPUTER Seren A computer (system) consists of mainly four units: input unit, System Unit memory unit, processing unit (CPU) and output unit Computers work through an interaction of hardware and software. Monitor Hardewsererefers to the parts of computer that you can see and touch (including the computer case (cabinet) and everything inside i). Hardware items such as your monitor, keyboard, ‘mouse, printer, memory and other components are often called hardware devices, or devices, Ve Shall study about hardware devices in: ail in chapter Softsmare refers to the instructions, or programs, that tell the Rardware what to do. A word-processing program that you can Use to write letters on your computer is a type of software. The Sperating system (OS) is software that manages your computer Themostimportant unit device of a computer is known as CPU (Central Proces ing Unit). Iris ito known as microprocessor or processor. A CPU isthe brain of a computer It is responsible forall the functions and processes. r The CPUs consisted of thin layers of thousands of transistors, inputs and produces output.
