it prevents the collision between the data that is sended by the network cards over ethernet networks

Collisions can decrease network performance.
*** In CSMA/CD it detects that a collision take place and resend the frame that was send. On a wirless network losing bandwidth along with time to detect that a collision took place was not acceptable , so CSMA/CA was utilized. ** CSMA/CD can achieve above 70% efficiency under heavy loads compared to CSMA/CA that can only achieve up to 30% efficiency under heavy loads. CSMA/CA network: A network in which the medium access control protocol requires carrier sense and where a station always starts transmission by sending a jam signal; if there is no collision with jam signals from other stations, it begins sending data; otherwise, it stops transmission and then tries again later. CSMA/CD network: A bus network in which the medium access control protocol requires carrier sense and in which exception conditions caused by collision are resolved by retransmission
The purpose of the FCS field is to transmit the extra checksum characters added to a frame in "xyz" protocol for error detection. The most popular algorithm I've used is the CRC (cyclic redundancy check) employed in things like ethernet or PPP on a routed network. Keep in mind that ethernet defines that the errored frame should be discarded, but ethernet takes no action to cause the frame to be retransmitted. Typically most tech's see it as unnecessary overhead and opt to rely on CSMA\CD or CSMA\CA if the route is not deemed to carry time sensitive data. Hope that clears things up a bit.
Data transmissions is via frames, each having a single MAC address. The CSMA/CD access method is used to detect collisions.
To prevent collisions.
It is prevent all connected network cards sending at the same time.
CSMA/CD: Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection.
10BaseT
1.All frames are transmitted on all Ethernet segments 2. shared medium networks use CSMA/CD to access the medium
look up CSMA/CD.... these days each node can talk whenever it wants thanks to full duplex communication.

Network+ Guide to Networks answer: Csma/ca
A collision domain is a physical network segment where data packets can collide with one another when being sent on a shared medium.A group of Ethernet or Fast Ethernet devices in a CSMA/CD LAN that are connected by repeaters and compete for access on the network. Only one device in the collision domain may transmit at any one time, and the other devices in the domain listen to the network in order to avoid data collisions.A collision domain is sometimes referred to as an Ethernet segment.
