Answer 2

Answer:

First of all in bus topology there is a backbone cable where all the computers are connected.

Explanation: Advantages

1. East to install.

2. Less cable required.

3. East to add nodes by removing the terminator and adding the additional wire and again closing it by terminator.

Disadvantages

1. Collision of data.

2. If bus cable or backbone cable goes down all the entire system goes down.

3. Less reliable and covers small geographical space.
