WHAT'S A BIT

Answer 1

A binary digit, the smallest unit in a base-2 (binary) counting system, which we interpret as the digit 0 or 1. To the computer, a bit is simply the absence or presence of a sufficient charge within a capacitor. Every capacitor in memory is paired with a transistor which can fill or drain the capacitor in order to switch the state. We interpret the combined states of these capacitors as binary numbers which can be converted to decimal numbers. Thus any data that can be represented as decimal numbers can be stored and manipulated by a binary computer.

Answer 2

A bit is a small or basic unit of information used in computing
