Parts of a Motherboard and Their Function

Image
    The Computer Mother Board Explained The main printed circuit board in a computer is known as the motherboard. Other names for this central computer unit are system board, mainboard, or printed wired board (PWB). The motherboard is sometimes shortened to Mobo. Numerous major components, crucial for the functioning of the computer, are attached to the motherboard. These include the processor, memory, and expansion slots. The motherboard connects directly or indirectly to every part of the PC. The type of motherboard installed in a PC has a great effect on a computer's system speed and expansion capabilities. Major Motherboard Components and Their Functions   Central Processing Unit (CPU)   The Computer's Microprocessor Also known as the microprocessor or the processor , the CPU is the computer's brain. It is responsible for fetching, decoding, and executing program instructions. It also performs mathematical and logical calculations. The processor chip i...

What is Capacitor?

Image
  Capacitor is also known as condenser . This is one of the passive components like resistor. Capacitor is generally used to store the charge. In capacitor the charge is stored in the form of “electrical field”. Capacitors play a major role in many  electrical and electronic circuits. Generally, a capacitor has two parallel metal plates which are not connected to each other. The two plates in the capacitor are separated by non conducting medium (insulating medium) this medium is commonly known as Dielectric . [adsense1] There are different types and different shapes of capacitors  available , from very small capacitors which are used in resonance circuits to large capacitors for  stabilising HVDC lines. But all capacitors are doing the same work that is storing the electrical charge. The shape of a capacitor is rectangular, square, circular, cylindrical or spherical shape. Unlike a resistor, an ideal capacitor does not dissipate energy.As the diffe...

Electrical symbols

Image
  Electrical symbols or electronic circuits are virtually represented by circuit diagrams. There are some standard symbols to represent the components in a circuits. This article gives some of the frequently used symbols for drawing the circuits. There are many electrical and electronic schematic symbols are used to signify basic electronic or electrical device. These are mostly we used for draw circuit diagrams. [adsense1] Below are different kind of symbols we mentioned category wise. Hope this information will helps to understand clearly. Wires Switches Sources Ground Resistor Variable Resistor Capacitor Inductors Diodes Transistor Logic Gates Amplifiers Antenna Transformer Miscellaneous [adsense2] Electrical Symbols & Electronic Symbols WIRES Wires Represents a conductor that conducts electrical current. Also called a power line or electric line or wire. Connected Wires Represents the connection of two conductors. Dot shows the junct...
