What is 100000000 bytes in GB?

It is either 0.1 GB, or 0.093 GB, depending on whom you ask. Storage devices are advertised as decimal (or "metric") gigabytes, which is 109 or 1,000,000,000 bytes. Microsoft Windows, and indeed most programs written by classic programmers, use binary gigabytes, which is 230 or 1,073,741,824 bytes. The latter definition gives a better view of how much storage is used, because storage devices store sections of 512 (29) bytes at once, not 500 bytes. This eases address computations, etc. as computers naturally use binary numbers. Manufacturers use decimal values so that neophyte computer users can understand exactly how much capacity they're buying.


What Type of current that almost all electronics devices use?

The question is much too vague. Electronic devices can be designed to allow for direct or alternating current. Examples are your home DVD player plugged into the receptacle which is 120 volt alternating current and your ipod which uses battery direct current power. Small portable devices are usually direct current (battery power ). The plug that comes with such devices is for charging the battery. Or the device may internally rectify the alternating current and turn it into dc power.


Why you use DC Supply in Human machine interface?

This is not generally true. For example, the light switch in your home is a human machine interface and it uses AC. What you may be referring to is that many electronic devices are internally powered by DC because that is what semiconductors typically use for power. Hence, a device like a computer keyboard is powered by DC. Also batteries produce DC so they tend to power devices that are portable, like your phone.
