What is the main goal of buffers?
- A.
Move Data
- B.
Send data through the CPU for higher performance
- C.
Temporarily hold data used by some types of hardware
- D.

Correct Answer
D. Electrostatic dischargeExplanation
Electrostatic discharge refers to the sudden and momentary electric current that occurs between two objects at different electrical potentials. This discharge happens when there is a buildup of static electricity on one object, and it is transferred to another object with a lower electrical potential. It can occur due to various reasons such as friction, contact, or separation of materials. This discharge can be hazardous and cause damage to electronic devices, which is why precautions such as grounding and using anti-static measures are necessary.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. DischargedExplanation
Static electricity remains intact until it is discharged. Discharging refers to the process of releasing or transferring the excess electric charge from an object to the ground or another object with a lower electric potential. When static electricity is discharged, the accumulation of electric charge is balanced, and the object returns to a neutral state. This can happen through various means, such as through contact with a conductor or through a spark or electric discharge. Once discharged, the object no longer carries a static electric charge.Rate this question:
