Correct option is C
The unit of measurement for the timer watch in a microprocessor is
Hertz (Hz). This measures the clock frequency, which indicates how many cycles per second the timer operates. The microprocessor’s internal clock governs the speed at which the microprocessor executes instructions, and it is typically measured in millions or billions of Hertz (MHz or GHz).
Important Key Points:
1.
Hertz (Hz) is the standard unit for frequency, including the timing functions within a microprocessor.
2. A higher clock frequency (measured in Hertz) allows for faster execution of instructions.
Knowledge Booster:
·
Volts measure electrical potential or voltage, not frequency.
·
Amperes measure electric current, not time-related functions.
·
Ohms measure resistance in an electrical circuit, not the frequency of a timer.
·
Joules measure energy, not clock frequency in a microprocessor.
