Question

A collection of lines that connects several devices is called

Answer 1

A collection of lines that connects several devices is called a Bus.

Control signals and data are sent between the CPU and other components via buses.

This is to reach a reasonable operational speed.

All peripherals in a computer system are connected to the microprocessor through a bus.

Answer 2

Note: The correct question must be provided with following options-

A collection of lines that connects several devices is called

a) bus

b) peripheral connection wires

c) both a and b

d) internal wires

Explanation for correct option

a:

1. A bus is the means by which data is communicated between all of a computer's internal components.
2. It connects the processor to the RAM, the hard drive, the video processor, the I/O drives, and all of the other computer components.

Thus, a collection of lines connecting several devices is called bus.

Explanation for incorrect options

b:

• A peripheral device is a device that connects to a computer system to add functionality, and the wire that connects the peripheral to the system is known as a peripheral connecting wire.
• It does not connect multiple devices at the same time.

Thus, option b is incorrect.

c:

Since, only option a is correct and option b is incorrect, hence, option c is incorrect.

d:

• A computer case contains internal connectors or internal wires.

• It connects one device to another but tt does not really connect several devices at once.

Thus, option d is also incorrect.

Hence, option a) is correct.
