    Which of the following have the fastest access time?

    • Compact Discs

    • Magnetic Disks

    • Magnetic Tape

    • Semiconductor Memory

    Correct Answer
    A. Semiconductor Memory
    Explanation
    Semiconductor memory has the fastest access time compared to the other options listed. This is because semiconductor memory, such as RAM (Random Access Memory), uses electronic circuits made of semiconductors to store and retrieve data quickly. In contrast, compact discs, magnetic disks, and magnetic tapes rely on mechanical processes to read and write data, which usually results in slower access times. Semiconductor memory is commonly used in computers and electronic devices due to its fast access speed and ability to quickly retrieve and store data.

    In a computer _____ is capable to store single binary bit.

    • Capacitor

    • Register

    • Flip Flop

    • Inductor

    Correct Answer
    A. Flip Flop
    Explanation
    A flip flop is a digital circuit element that can store a single binary bit, either a 0 or a 1. It is commonly used in computer systems for storing and manipulating data. Capacitors and inductors are passive components used in analog circuits and do not have the capability to store binary bits. Registers, on the other hand, are collections of flip flops used for storing multiple bits of data. Therefore, the correct answer is flip flop.
