A "bus" is a physical electrical interface where many devices share the same electric connection. This allows signals to be transferred between devices (allowing information or power to be shared). A bus often takes the form of an array of wires that terminate at a connector which allows a device to be plugged into the bus.
The "undervolt" part means that the bus that carries the current is not carrying the correct amount, it is carrying less. This was caused by an explosion of an oxygen tank that was part of the electrical generating equipment on Apollo 13. When it blew up, the voltage dropped. Like if your car battery suddenly began producing less than 12 volts.
A short circuit on Main Bus B (already explained) caused excessive current consumption. This caused the voltage to drop, possibly all the way to zero. Hence the undervolt condition.

Is a computer bus a hardware or software?
It's hardware. It's basically how fast the information can get from point A to point B. The larger the bus the faster (more information) can move.
Difference between data bus and data control bus?
An Address Bus gives the memory instructions on where to place the actual data that it will stored or read. Basically a map location. The Data Bus carries the information that is going to be stored or read using the location that the Address Bus gave to the memory. Address bus is unidirectional while data bus is bi directional
What is computer bus system?
A group of lines that serves as a connecting path for several devices is called bus.In addition to the lines that carry the data, the bus must have lines for address and control purposes.

What are the 3 bus types present in every CPU?
The three types of bus present in every CPU are address bus, data bus and control bus.
What caused the master alarm to go off in the movie Apollo 13?
The first is triggered by a Main Bus B undervolt, caused by the rupture of the tank containing oxygen which reacts with hydrogen to produce electricity. The second alarm is triggered when Main Bus A suffers the same problem. A third alarm is triggered by high levels of carbon dioxide, caused by the Lunar Module's inability to filter enough air for all three men for as long as it was being made to.
The main bus on the motherboard is?
front side Bus...(FSB) or System Bus
What does U mean in BUS in computer terms?
