Explain at least 5 parts a a computer.

There are many parts of a computer, but there are basic ones and major ones.

Explanation: Computers may look very different, but the components installed are standard. The major difference among most machines is the brand of hardware installed. The hardware components—video card, processor, memory, motherboard and hard drive—are the same for all computer systems. While, these are the major ones: Motherboard.

Processor/CPU.

Power Supply.

Hard Drive.

PCI-Express Cards.

Graphics Cards.

RAM/Memory.

Explanation:

The given parameters of the circuit are;

The voltage applied to the circuit = 240 volt

The types of wire in the circuit are Main wire, wire 1, wire 2, and wire 3

The maximum current that can flow through each type of wire is given by the max power of the machine powered by the wire

Power, P = Voltage, V × Current, I

∴ I = P/V

The maximum power of the machine powered by wire 1 = 2,200 W

The current flowing through wire 1, I₁ = 2,200 W/(240 V) = 55/6 A =

The maximum power of the machine powered by wire 2 = 1,200 W

The current flowing through wire 2, I₂ = 1,200 W/(240 V) = 5 A

The maximum power of the machine powered by wire 3 = 600 W

The current flowing through wire 3, I₃ = 600 W/(240 V) = 2.5 A

Therefore, Kirchhoff's current law, we have;

The current that the main wire can carry, I = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

∴ I = 55/6 A + 5 A + 2.5 A = 50/3 A = 16. A

The current that the main wire can carry, I = 16. A

The highest American Wire Gauge (AWG) that can be used for each type of wire are listed as follows;

Therefore, we have;
