A computer's hard disk stores data by setting the magnetic polarisation of a sector to one of two possible states. We can represent these two alternatives as 0 & 1. We can then use a combination of stored "0's & 1's" to represent any data we wish.

Binary has only 2 states, one and zero.
An electrical switch has only 2 states, On and Off.
Computers use electricity to operate and so can use transistor switches in an on or off state to represent any number.
Everything to do with digital computers is in binary, in it's basic form.
You only perceive data as something else when this binary information is acted upon by program which translates it.
What else can I help you with?
What is the standard format of data written to a CD as well as DVD?
it's binary data
Computer hardware stores processes and transmits data in what format?
binary
Why all data stored in a computer in binary form?
Because binary (0 or 1) is the only format that the computer can understand. A transistor is either off or on. There is no other state.
What format do most computers store data in a series of ones and zeros?
binary
What is stored on a computers harddrive?
Everything. All of the code that tells the computer how to boot up and shut down and all of your files and programs.
How is a bit stored in an optical disk?
As data in binary format of 0 & 1 on hard drive sectors.
What does format command in windows do?
It erases all your data on the disk which you specified, fofr instance, format C:. It will format (erase) all your data from C.
What Communications signals is represented in a binary format?
Communications signals represented in a binary format include digital signals, which encode information as sequences of bits (0s and 1s). This binary representation is fundamental in digital communications, allowing for efficient data transmission and error detection. Common examples include computer data, digital audio, and video signals, as well as protocols like TCP/IP used in networking. The binary format enables compatibility across various digital devices and systems.
Are there spaces between binary letters?
No, there are typically no spaces between binary letters (bits) in a binary sequence. Binary code consists of a continuous string of 0s and 1s, representing data in a format that computers can understand. Spaces may be used for readability in certain contexts, such as when displaying binary code for human interpretation, but they do not exist in the actual data representation.
A network engineer wants to represent confidential data in binary format what are the two possible values he can use?
4 and 6
What is binary data transmitted on?
Binary Data is transmitted on Data Buses.
Can all file formats be compressed?
No. the format of a file is the description about how the data in it are structured. Thus the data described by the format can be compressed but the format itself can not.
