What are interrupts initiated by instructions called?
Those would be software interrupts. Interrupts initiated by the hardware would be hardware interrupts. While the socket a mouse is plugged into would use a hardware interrupt, a mouse driver would use a software interrupt.

What are the applications of hardware interrupts in 8085?
The hardware initiates an interrupt when it feels that the situation requires the CPU's action.
Interrupts originate with what?
Interrupts originate from hardware or software events that require immediate attention from the CPU. Hardware interrupts are generated by devices such as keyboards, mice, or network cards to signal that they need processing, while software interrupts can be triggered by system calls or exceptions in programs. These interrupts allow the CPU to respond quickly to changing conditions or requests, ensuring efficient multitasking and system responsiveness.
What is interrupts and list classes of interrupts in operating system?
An interrupt is an event that alters the sequence in which the processor execute instructions. It is generated by hardware of computer system. Classes of interrupt:- IBM processor has six types of interrupts. * svc interrupt(supervisor call) *input/output interrupts *external interrupts *Restart interrupts *Program check interrupt *Machine check interrupts

What is point of interruption?
If you mean hardware interrupts, it is a way for a device to notify the CPU when some event occured.Without interrupts it is necessary to poll the device constantly.
