What is the purpose of collision domain and how does it work in a ethernet network?

There is no purpose. It is rather unfortunate downside. In early years of networking networks were not capable of full duplex as result admins had to deal with collision domains.
Problem of collision domains does not exist in modern equipment because data sent and received on different pairs of wires.
There are exceptions but they are not applicable to the most of situations admins have to deal with.

What is collison domain?
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.
What is collusion domain?
A computer network can be segmented physically but also logically. A collision domain is one of the logical network segments in which the data packets can collide to each other. One of the most common protocols used when referring to a collision domain is the Ethernet protocol. Collision domains are often referred as 'Ethernet segments'. The term of 'collision domain' is also used when describing the circumstances in which a single network device sends packets throughout a network segment and forces every other device in that network segment to pay attention to those packets.
What is Another way to describe a collision domain is?
Ethernet segment.
How do you prevent collisions in a broadcasting domain?
You can't eliminate collision in a broadcasting domain. What you can do is to increase the number of collision domain within a broadcasting domain by using more switches. this will improve your network traffic because the more the collision domain, the better is your network in terms of data transmission performance.
What is the portion of a network in which collisions occur?
collision domain
Is the characteristics of hub is multiple collision domain?
A hub has a single collision domain, which is why it can cause problems when network traffic is high.
What does implementing a lan switch reduce?
Lan switches eliminate collision domain. A single collision domain in a network would mean half duplex as it can only send or receive at one time. each port of a switch is considered a collision domain in itself. so more the number of collision domain , better for the network.
What would be used to limit the expansion of an Ethernet collision domain?
In the olden days you would use a bridge because hubs were one collision domain. The bridge was basically an expensive switch. Today on switches each switch port is on its own collision domain.
What is a single collison domain?
A collision domain is an area on the network where two devices may attempt to transmit at the same time. A hub has 1 collision domain overall. A switch has 1 collision domain per interface. The fewer devices in 1 collision domain, the better. ----
Which topology divides the collision domain and provides full media bandwidth to the hosts in the network?
Sw1-sw2 divides the collision domain and provides full media bandwidth to the hosts in the network.
After an Ethernet collision when the backoff algorithm is invoked which device has priority to transmit?
any device in the collision domain whose backoff timer expires first
How does a bridge device improve performance on an Ethernet network?
how does each device work? what are the advantages of each? 1.switch 2.hub 3.bridge
