Computer Components
Across
- 3. A router is a computer and networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks, including internetworks such as the global Internet.
- 4. a kind of memory that retains data in the absence of a power supply.
- 5. Random-access memory is a form of electronic computer memory that can be read and changed in any order, typically used to store working data and machine code.
- 8. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the primary component of a computer that acts as its “control center.” The CPU, also referred to as the “central” or “main” processor, is a complex set of electronic circuitry that runs the machine's operating system and apps.
- 9. A computer mouse is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-dimensional motion relative to a surface.
- 11. A motherboard is a computer's main circuit board that connects all of its internal components. It allows these components to communicate and function together.
- 14. A computer speaker is a piece of hardware attached to a computer system used to produce sound. The computer's sound card has the signal used to generate the sound from a computer speaker.
- 16. A power supply unit converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a desktop computer.
- 17. A monitor is an electronic output device used to display information being entered and processed on a computer. The primary use of a monitor is to display images, text, video, and graphics information generated by the computer via a computer's video card.
- 18. Cache memory is a type of data storage used to store frequently accessed information for faster response time.
Down
- 1. A computer peripheral, also known as a peripheral device, is an external device that connects to a computer to expand its capabilities. Peripheral devices are not essential to the functioning of a computer, but they enhance its functionality.
- 2. a panel of keys that operate a computer or typewriter.
- 6. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology standard that is used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances and building personal area networks.
- 7. A solid-state drive is a type of solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuits to store data persistently.
- 10. a device for examining, reading, or monitoring something.
- 12. A graphics processing unit is a specialized electronic circuit initially designed for digital image processing and to accelerate computer graphics, being present either as a discrete video card or embedded on motherboards, mobile phones, personal
- 13. A hard drive in a computer is an internal or external device that stores data such as operating systems, applications and user files.
- 15. A printer is a device that prints documents and images onto paper or other materials. It is usually connected to a computer, allowing you to use your word processor, spreadsheets, and other programs to create documents and images that are printed out on the printer.
- 19. (Read-Only Memory) Read-only memory is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices. Data stored in ROM cannot be electronically modified after the manufacture of the memory device.
