What propertys of the materials used in computer chips makes them useful as switched that turn electricity on and off?
The silicon is a semiconductor and can be doped to control its conductivity and create the junctions needed to make diodes and transistors. These diodes and transistors can act as switches and logic gates in properly designed circuits. Silicon can also be easily oxidized to become a robust waterproof insulator to passivate and protect the circuits and components beneath it.
The aluminium and/or copper are just good conductors used to "wire" the silicon components together and provide pads that can be used to attach wires or metal beads so that the chip can be connected to external circuits.
What else can I help you with?
How will your computer hibernate with out electricity?
A computer is only not using electricity when it's switched off.
What happens to an electromagnet when the electricity supplying it is switched off?
When the electricity supplying an electromagnet is switched off, the magnetic field produced by the electromagnet disappears. This means that the electromagnet loses its magnetic properties and no longer attracts or repels magnetic materials.
Does your computer have to be switched on for Windows Defender to run a scan?
No, the computer doesnt have to be switched on.
Do electromagnets lose strength?
Only once the electricity is switched off.
What happens yo the data in RAM when the computer is switched off?
the information is lost after power is switched off.
When did the first computer crash?
The first time it was switched on
Can you switch from 110V to 220Vv on dell desktop computer?
Some Dells can be switched as well as other manufacturers. There is a switch on the back of the computer at the power supply that can be switched. Before you buy any brand make sure that that specific model can be switched if you have that requirement.
What stores data on a computer when it is switched on or rebooted?
If you store something on the computer you would put it on a usb port.
Which memory is cleared once the computer is switched off?
RAM memory is cleared when a computer is turned off.
What volatile thus the content is lost when the computer is switched off?
RAM
What is the time taken for a power station to produce electricity after it is switched on called?
The time taken for a power station to start generating electricity after it is switched on is called the "ramp-up time." This includes the time needed for the turbines to reach their full operational speed and for the electrical systems to stabilize before electricity can be delivered to the grid.
What uses more electricity a lit light bulb or an empty socket of the same rating switched on?
When the bulb is lit it uses energy. When there is no bulb, no energy is used even if it is switched on.
