Q.

1) Discuss the use of computer in any two fields of life.

Computers are useful in almost every field of life. We are so dependent on the computer that
we can’t spend a day without it. The use of computers in the fields of education and
communication is given below:

Computers in Education:
Computer play a vital role in the field of education. It becomes an essential part of the school
curriculum. It is not used in schools, colleges and universities but also aid the learning process
of children. It also helps to train the professors with the latest innovation not only in technology
but in all domains of education. There are certain benefits of computers in this field. It
enhances the creativity and thinking process of children. It gives information about every topic
within seconds. It stores a bulk of information in one place.. It improves research activities. It is
beneficial for career development of the students.

Computers in communication:
Computers in the field of communication is an essential component. It can be used to send
information from one place to another in no time. Whenever we want to explore a topic we
turn to computers to access information. It can store a huge amount of data that can be shared
with other devices or users. It helps in mobility that you can access your information from
everywhere at any time. Not only data is communicated but there are different software that
helps in video calling, sending pictures. There are different social sites where we can share our
thoughts with the whole world. We can discuss different topics. We can share our ideas. We
can communicate our problems with others.

Q.2) Differentiate Complier and Assembler.

The difference between compiler and Assembler is as follows:

Compiler
The compiler is used to convert High-level language into
machine language.
It converts whole program at once.
It generates mnemonics version of machine code.
It accept source code as input.
Examples of compiler are:
Assembler
Assembler is used to convert Assembly language into
machine language
It doesn’t convert whole program at once.
It generates binary version of machine code.
It accepts assemble code as input.
Examples of assembler are:

C++, JAVA compiler etc. GAS, GNU assembler etc.

 Q.3) Differentiate System and Application software.

The difference between the system software and application software is as follow:

System Software Application Software

System software is a general-purpose software. Application software is a specific purpose software.
It makes computer alive. It solves user’s particular problems.
Application software is easier to develop than system
Developing system software is difficult.
software.
Computer cannot be operated without system software. Computer can be operated without application software.
Examples of application software are:
Examples of system software are:
Entertainment Software, Productivity software, Business
Operating system, Device Drivers, Utility Programs etc.
software etc.

Q.4) Describe artificial intelligence with examples.

Artificial Intelligence:
Artificial Intelligence is also known as machine intelligence. The branch of computer science
that aim to provide software with the ability to analyses its environment using predetermined
rules and search algorithms. With this branch computer can behave like human which includes
Robotics, expert systems etc. The machines are associated with human brain because these
machines can learn, reason and solve problems. These machines learn from daily life routines
and provides feasible solutions to different problems in a very fast manner than human.
Artificial intelligence is used in major fields to bring innovation like scientific, health and space
technologies. The best example is google map which suggest us shortest path to reach our
destination on time. Also measures the traffic and time to reach there.  

Q.5) Discuss Impact and Non-Impact Printers with examples.

Impact and non-impact printers:

Impact Printers:
An impact printer is a printer that prints by striking a metal or plastic head against an inked
ribbon. It generates output by having direct contact between inked ribbon and paper. These
printers are noisy because of striking but are still used in different educational institutes and
various organizations. The examples of impact printers are dot matrix, daisy wheel, line printers
etc.
Examples:
Dot Matrix Printers:
This type of printer prints with the help of pins arranged in several vertical columns. These pins
strike against the ribbon soaked with ink that generate a dotted image on the paper. These
printer are out dated and noisy but still are in used. These dots are spaced closely to form the
required character. The head of pins move in special position to form the character.
Daisy Wheel Printer:
The daisy wheel printer contains a disk of metal or plastic that have different petals. There are
total 96 characters printed on outer edge of the petal. This wheel can be replaced with other
set of characters printed on the disc. The motor rotates the disc to move the desired character
between the hammer and an inked ribbon. When that character moves to its specific position
then hammer is strike against the petal which form the character with the help of inked ribbon.
It does not print graphic. It is very noisy and generate low quality output.
Line Printers:
These printers are called line printers because they can print one line of text at a time. These
printers are faster than the previous one. These printers can print 300 to 3000 lines per minute.
Line printers have also been replaced by the laser printer and other non-impact printers but are
still used in various businesses.  

Non-Impact printers:
Non-impact printers prints without striking a ribbon against paper. It doesn’t require a
mechanical movement of parts. It uses different technologies for printing. These printers are
not noisy and produce quality output than impact printers. These are faster but costly than
impact printers. Examples of non-impact printers are inkjet printers, LASER printers, Thermal
Printers etc.
Examples:
Inkjet Printers:
An inkjet printer not only print text but also print graphics on paper. This printer has different
small nozzles which are also called jets, placed in the head. These nozzle sprinkle ink onto the
paper to print the desired image or character. These printers are used at homes for printing
purposes. These printer range from low cost to high cost depending upon the quality they
produced.
LASER Printers:
LASER printer uses a beam of special light LASER and electrical charged drum to print high
quality graphics and text instead of traditional ink. It enhance the neatness of hard copy. LASER
beam is passed to photoreceptor that create the pattern of image of text then that
photoreceptor is coated with the help of toner to produce output. These printers are costly
than inkjet printers.
Thermal Printers:
Thermal printers use the heat technology to print the output instead of using ink and toner.
Because of the quality of image it is vastly used in banking, airlines, grocery stores etc. It is also
used to print logos, labels efficiently. It uses a thermal paper which upon heating changing its
color to print the desired image or text.
Q.6) Write the use of these storage devices: Hard Disk, USB Flash Disk, SD Card.

Hard Disk:
Hard disk is a type of magnetic disk. It is fixed in the system unit. It consists of different platters.
These platters contained in a container. The container contain a motor that rotates the platter
for reading and writing purposes. It also has a read/write head that can move to particular
address to access the data. It is a primary storage device used in computers. Its storage capacity
varies from GBs to TBs. Its performance depends upon the spinning speed of disk. It is faster
than the floppy disk. There is an internal hard disk and external hard disk. Internal hard disk is
fixed inside the system unit. External hard disk is portable and can be attached with computer
using ports.

USB Flash Disk:

USB flash drive is the flash memory storage. It can be connected with the computer on USB
ports. It is easy to use and plug and play. There is no need to install drivers. It storage capacity
range from several MBs to several GBS. It is small in size and light in weight. It can be attached
to a keychain and can be placed inside the pocket.  It can store different types of data like
documents, music, videos, images etc. It is used to transfer data from one device to another
that support USB port.

SD Card:
Secure Digital card is a removable flash storage media. It can be mounted in and out in a
specific slot. Its storage capacity range from several KBS to GBs. IT is used to transfer data from
one mobile device to another mobile device. It stores digital media like images, videos, files etc.
The data can be read and write with the help of card reader in computer.

Q.7) Which monitor will you prefer in your school; CRT or FPD? Why

We will prefer FPD (Flat Panel Display) in school because these display devices are light in
weight than CRT monitors and take less space. FPD consume less power than CRT and does not
produce harmful radiation. Students can use these display devices without effecting their
eyesight.
