Question Discussion & Solution

The correct answer is Electric Heater.

Key Points

• Electric Heater is a device that can convert Electric energy into heat energy.
• In an electron tube, an electric heating element shaped in the form of a wire or ribbon is used to supply heat to a cathode; the element provides heat when a current is passed through it.
• Electric heaters also are used for domestic central heating and for materials processing in the industry for example heat pumps; electric furnace.

Additional Information

• Energy is the ability to do work.
• The  Law of conservation of energy:
  • Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, only Energy can be converted from one form to another.
• These are some parts of the energy that convert one form to another:
  • Heat
  • Light
  • Motion
  • Electrical
  • Chemical
  • Gravitational

Important Points

The relation is:

1) Sports : Ground → Sports are organised in ground.

2) Rubber : Eraser → Rubber is used to erase writings on paper.

3) Cinema : Screen → Cinema is shown on screen

4) Drama : Stage → Drama is played on stage.

Hence, Rubber : Eraser is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Application software.

Key Points

• Spreadsheets, photo editing, PowerPoint, word documents, etc, are examples of Application software.
  • Application software, or app for short, is software that performs specific tasks for an end-user.
  • Effectively, if the user is interacting directly with a piece of software it is application software.
    • For example, Microsoft Word or Excel is application software, as are common web browsers such as Firefox or Google Chrome.
  • It also includes the category of mobile apps, including communication apps such as WhatsApp or games such as Candy Crush Saga.

Additional Information

• System Software
  • System software is a type of computer program that is designed to run a computer's hardware and application programs.
  • If we think of the computer system as a layered model, the system software is the interface between the hardware and user applications.
  • The operating system is the best-known example of system software.
  • The OS manages all the other programs on a computer.
  • System software is used to manage the computer itself.
    • It runs in the background, maintaining the computer's basic functions so users can run higher-level application software to perform certain tasks.
    • Essentially, system software provides a platform for application software to be run on top of.
• System software generally includes the following features:
  • High speed
    • System software must be as efficient as possible to provide an effective platform for higher-level software in the computer system.
  • Hard to manipulate
    • It often requires the use of a programming language, which is more difficult to use than a more intuitive user interface (UI).
  • Written in a low-level computer language
    • System software must be written in a computer language the central processing unit (CPU) and other computer hardware can read.
  • Close to the system
    • It connects directly to the hardware that enables the computer to run.
  • Versatile
    • System software must communicate with both the specialized hardware it runs on and the higher-level application software that is usually hardware-agnostic and often has no direct connection to the hardware it runs on. 
• The platform is hardware and software architecture that acts as a foundation or base upon which other applications, processes, or technologies are developed.
  • In computing, platform refers to basic hardware i.e., computer system, and software i.e., the operating system on which software applications are often run. 

Concept:

Classes in java are the collection of objects which has some similar properties. A class in java contains fields, methods, constructors, blocks, interfaces.

Explanation:

Everything is associated with classes and objects. An object is an instance of the class which has some state and behavior.

An object class(java.lang.object) is the parent class of all the java classes.  It can be used when we do not know about the type of the object. By having the object as the super class , without knowing the type we can pass around objects using the object declaration.

The correct answer is Software program.

• An operating system is system software that manages computer hardware, software resources, and provides common services for computer programs. Operating systems are found on many devices such as a computer, mobile phones, video games etc.
• Software program
  • It is a set of instructions, or a set of modules or procedures, through which computer operation is performed.
  • It is often called a software application and a software product.

Additional Information

• Computer system
  • A Computer system is usually defined as a combination of both hardware and software working together.
  • Hardware is the physical components of a computer and software is the programs that run on a computer.
• Network
  • It is a collection of computers, servers, mainframes, network devices, peripherals, or other devices connected to one another to allow the sharing of data.
  • E.g - The Internet, often referred to as the ‘Net’, consists of a complex network of computers connected by high-speed communication technologies like satellites, microwave devices, etc.
• Hardware device
  • Computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer, such as a case, central processing unit (CPU), monitor, mouse, keyboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, speakers and motherboard.
  • It accepts the data (input) from the user.
  • The computer has memory chips, which are designed to hold data until it is needed.
  • It processes this data into information. The computer has an electronic brain called the Central Processing Unit, which is responsible for processing all data into information according to the instructions given to the computer.
  • It then returns the processed information (output) to the user.
