Best Answer

A parallel bus has many wires, and it sends 8 (or more) bits at the same time -- one bit on every wire.

Then later it sends 8 more bits at the same time.

Even though all 8 bits are started at the same time, the receiver often finds the bit on one wire slightly early and the bit on some other wire slightly late.

The difference in time between the first bit to arrive and the last bit to arrive is the bus skew.

Because serial buses send only one bit at a time, there is no "other wire".

So serial buses do not have bus skew.

Why 8085 is called parallel device?

The data bus of 8085 is 8 bit and so it will read or write 8 bits simultaneously.So it is Parallel Devise


What is a bus in a microprocessor?

A bus consists of wires which is used to transfer data either in serial or parallel transmission.


How much is skewing angle in three phase induction motor?

the skew angle varies from 0 degrees, depending on how much torque you want at near synchronous speed and how smoothly you want to transition with varying loads most motors all the shorting bars are parallel to shaft. skew is more often for lower current starting in motors that will turn on an off a lot


Where is the world's most skewed arch bridge?

Skew arch bridges of up to 45 degrees are not uncommon and many even exceed that figure. There's a helicoidal skew arch in the U.K. that was built of stone in 1830 to carry the Haggerleazes branch of the Stockton & Darlington Railway over the River Gaunless, which has a skew angle of 63 degrees. In other words, instead of crossing the river at the normal 90 degrees, the railway and river cross at 27 degrees. (90 - 27 = 63) There's a skew arch bridge built to a different principle (it's called a ribbed skew arch) in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, UK that carries the Midland Main Line across Southdown Road at an angle of only 25 degrees, giving the bridge a skew angle of 65 degrees. That's the most skewed arch bridge I know of but there may well be others and if so I'd like to know. (Reference: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_arch)


Differentiate between meridional rays and skew rays?

A meridional ray is a ray that passes through the axis of an optical fiber.A skew ray is a ray that travels in a non-planar zig-zag path and never crosses the axis of an optical fiber.

Are skew lines never parallel?

Correct! Skew lines can never by be parallel.


Are parallel lines also called skew lines?

No. Skew lines are lines in different planes that are parallel.


Skew lines and parallel lines exactly the same?

Skew lines are not parallel. Parallel lines are across from each other in some way and are exactly parallel.


Are two lines that do not intersect skew?

Two lines that are not parallel and do not intersect are skew. If the non-intersecting lines are in the same plane then they are parallel.


Are two skew lines ever parallel?

They could be if they are both skew to the same line.


Are skew lines parallel?

No. If they are parallel, then a plane exists which both lines lie in. Skew lines can not be on the same plane.


Can you have skew planes?

No, they are either parallel, or they intersect


Are Two skew lines are always parallel?

no


Are skew lines coplanar?

Skew lines are noncoplanar; therefore they're not parallel & don't intersect.


Are parallel skew?

No--skew lines are nonparallel lines that still do not intersect (in three dimensions or higher).


What are skew lines?

skew lines are noncoplanar lines, which means they aren't parallel and they also don't intersect skew lines do not intersect and are not coplanar


Are a line and a plane that do not intersect always sometimes or never skew?

A line and a plane that do not intersect are always skew. Skew refers to two or more lines or planes that are not parallel and do not intersect. Since a line and a plane are different-dimensional objects, they will never intersect and will always be skew.
