First you have to understand that the CPU pretty much reagulates electricity.
The binary system is pretty much composed of two numbers 0 and 1 which basically means that a zero equals off and one equals on.

When the mouse initiates a hardware interrupt to the CPU how does the CPU know?
The CPU does not "know" it is not a thinking being. What happens is that the interrupt flag ( a binary true or false register) is detected by the operating system which is being executed by the CPU and the code of the operating system runs a routine in response.
What is a command interpretation?
The CPU needs to understand a command keyed in by a user. The CPU can interpret only binary code, i.e. the code containing 0's and 1's. A command keyed in by user has to be translated to binary code for the CPU to understand it. An operating system performs this task.
What are the function of registers in microcomputer system?
The function of registers is the same in all computers. They are the fundamental binary interface between the internal and external structure of the CPU. All binary transactions between the CPU and its peripherals pass through registers. From the inside, they are the final periphery to the pins.
What is the difference between a number system and a binary system?
A binary system is a special type of a number system. The binary system uses only two digits, other number systems use more.
Why do computers use the decimal system?
Computers use a binary system, not decimal.
When did they use the binary numbers system?
The answer will depend on who "they" were or are.
How do you use binary in a sentence?
The equation was based on the number 2 or the binary numeration system.
Do computers use the decimal number system to store data?
No, they use the binary system
How the input signal is carried to CPU?
the input signal is carried to CPU by having a binary numbers.
What numbering system do computer use?
They use the binary code (1010101011001100)
Why do computers process binary numbers?
Computers use the binary system because, electrically, it is the simplest system to use. With the binary system, there are only two types of electrical states: on and off. With other systems, there would have to be different voltages that signify different numbers.
What base system does a computer use?
Computers are based on a binary number system.
