    Question



    A computer’s CPU consists of millions of tiny switches called _______.

    A.

    bits

    B.

    bytes

    C.

    transistors

    D.

    registers

    Correct option is C

    Transistors are the tiny switches that make up a CPU and are used to control electronic signals.
    Important Key Points:
    1. Transistors: They act as electronic switches and are the fundamental building blocks of all modern electronic devices.
    2. Role in CPU: Millions of transistors are used to build logic circuits for processing data in a CPU.
    Knowledge Booster:
    · Moore's Law: The number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years, which has driven technological advancements.
    · Registers: Small, high-speed storage locations in the CPU, used to hold temporary data.
