Question

what is bit in computer?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a "bit" is atomic: the smallest unit of storage

A bit stores just a 0 or 1

"In the computer it's all 0's and 1's" ... bits

Anything with two separate states can store 1 bit

In a chip: electric charge = 0/1

In a hard drive: spots of North/South magnetism = 0/1

A bit is too small to be much use

Group 8 bits together to make 1

Answer 2

• A bit is the most basic unit of information in computing.
• It is short for binary digit, which means that it can only have one of two values, 0 or 1.
• Large denominations of computer memory are composed of bits, moving up through bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes.
