The physical components required to set up a computer system to function are referred to as parts of the computer. These physical parts are commonly called computer hardware.
Each part has an important role and helps to process/perform a specific task.
A computer is made up of different parts, whether it is small or lage. Computer parts are generally divided into internal and external.
Internal parts of computers refer to the built-in components and are placed inside the computer case.
For example:- Motherboard, CPU, RAM etc.
External parts of computers refer to components that are attached to the computer by using one of the parts linked to the motherboard.
For example:- Mouse, Keyboard, Speakers and Webcam etc.
A motherboard is a printed circuit board that ia assembled inside a computer case. All basic and high-end chipsets are integrated on the motherbard.
It consists of CPU, RAM, ROM etc.
CPU stands for Central processing unit is commonly referred to as the brain of a computer. It is one of the main component of a computer system includes the CU (control unit) and ALU (arithmetic logic unit)
A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a chip or electronic circuit used to display high-quality images and graphics by performing rapid mathematical calculations.
A FAN is an internal parts of a computer system that primarily helpsto keep the computer system or its components cool by circulating air.
Memory units typically store data and instructions for core system files and configuration.
Random Access Memory. It is a volatile memory and the data stored in it is lost when the power supply is cut off.
Read Only Memory. It is a non-volatile storage medium that stores essential computer data such as firmware. The data stored in impossible to modify by the user. It keeps the stored data even after the power is turned off.
It is visual display unit, is one of the essential parts of a computer system.
The monitor is connected to a computer so that we can display output like, text, image or video on the screen.
The Keyboard is one of the primary input device which helps us to interact with the computer system.
The computer receives input from the keyboard and uses it in various ways.
A typical keyboard has a set of keys, including alphabetical keys, character keys, function keys, number keys, arrow keys and control keys.
The mouse is another input device and plays an important role as one of the essential computer parts. Sice it uses a print-and-click approach, it is commonly referred to as a pointing device.
Speakers are one of the optional parts of the computer. They can be connected to a computer to get audio output while watching movies, listening to the audio, listening to game music.
Speakers are connected externally to a computer using a computer part such as an audio jack or USB.
The mic is used to give voice input to the computer system.
The mics are designed to read sounds from the surrondings and convert this sound into electrical signals.
Webcam is another optional part of the computer system which is mainly used to capture images and videos and send them in digital form to a computer.
A computer case is a special box, usually made of metal or plastic, and contains many of the computers internal parts.
HDD, short for Hard Disk Drive, is a non-volatile storage device manufactured using a disc or platter, head, motor and other mechanical components.
SSD short for Solid State Drive, is another non-volatile storage device and is used in much the same way as an HDD.
CD/DVD drives are also optional parts of computer systems. These drives are attached to a computer to read images, videos, software and other data from CD (Compact Disc) and DVD (Digital Versatile Disc).
A power supply unit is an internal hardware component used in a computer case, primarily on desktop systems.
UPS short for Uninterruptible Power Supply, is a hardware device used as a power backup for a computer.
It consists of a battery inside a metal box that enables users to keep the computer running for a short time after the primary power source has been lost, such as an outage or a power surge.
A printer is an output device that can be connected to a computer system to make a hard copy of any document, image, or information on paper.
It is an input device that can be connected to a computer system to convert any hard copy document into a digital file format like JPEG, PNG, PDF etc.
