Session 4: Parts of a Computer and Peripherals
Parts of a computer
Computer is an electronic device which takes input, process and gives output. It
consists of three main
units:
1. Input Unit:
2. Central Processing Unit (CPU)
3. Output Unit.
RAM ROM
It stands for Random Access Memory. It stands for Read Only Memory.
It is volatile It is non-volatile
Motherboard
Motherboard, also referred to as a system board, is the main circuit board inside a
computer. It connects input,
processing and output devices.
Storage devices
Storage devices are used to store digital information. The commonly used storage
devices are USB flash drive,
hard disk, CD, DVD, etc
Units of Memory
Data is stored in the form of bits and bytes. Bit (Binary Digit, represented by 0 or
1) is the smallest storage unit.
Input devices:
An input device is used to enter information into the computer. for example
Keyboard, Microphone etc.
Output devices:
Output devices bring information from the computer to the user. for example
Monitor, Printer, Speaker etc.
NOTE: Input and output devices are also called ‘peripherals’. These are plugged
into the computer using connection ports.
Speaker Output Device It plays back all the sound based output.
The slots into which we connect the mouse/keyboard/external hard disk wires are
called ports. Thus, ports help us to connect input, output and storage devices in a
computer system. for example
1. Universal serial bus or the USB port: It helps to connects peripheral devices,
such as a mouse or a keyboard or a printer
2. Display port: These can be of different types, like Video Graphics Array
(VGA) and High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)
3. Audio port: It help to connect microphone, speakers, and headphones to a
computer system.
4. Ethernet port: It is used for connecting the system to high speed Internet
cable.
5. Power port: It is used for connecting the computer system to the power
supply.

A keyboard is an input device used to type text, numbers and commands into the
computer. Various types of keys available on keyboard are listed below.

programs is to get help on that program.

special control keys.

different page.
Electronic mail or e-mail is a quick way of sending messages to people using the
Internet. Files containing videos, documents, spreadsheets, etc., can be sent along
with the e-mail as attachments. E-mail is fast and easy to use and it can be sent to
multiple people at the same time.
An e-mail address is made up of two parts separated by the @ symbol. The part
before the @ symbol is created by the user. for example, amankukreja_1,
ananya123 etc.
The part after the ‘@’ symbol is the domain name of e-mail service provider, i.e.,
the company that provides the e-mail service. For example, Gmail by Google,
Outlook.com by Microsoft and yahoo.co.in by Yahoo!
Advantages of E-mail
There are a number of popular providers who help us to create an e-mail account.
NOTE: The mail will be sent to all the people whose e-mail addresses you have
given in the To and Cc sections.
The Attach button often has a paperclip as its symbol. Steps to add a file as an
attachment are:
Managing Folders
There are many folders which help us to manage and organize our e-mails.
1. Inbox: This folder holds e-mails that people have sent to us.
