It defines the physical components in the computer.

It instructs the computer how to process information.

It provides instructions on how to access the Internet.

It identifies the type of firmware that is installed in the computer.


A technician creates a simple circuit that has a 9 V light bulb attached to a 9 V battery. The power output of the light bulb is 100 W. Which equation should be used to calculate how much current in amps is required to achieve the full 100 W output from the 9 V bulb?

I = P/V = 100W/9V = 11.11A

I = P*V = 100W*9V = 900A

I = (P/2)*V = 50W*9V = 450A

I = P*2*V = 100W*(9V + 9V) = 8100A
