Answer 1

Power Supply: It is due to power supply that computers keep working and it is responsible for saving the computer from electric shocks. There is no computer working if there is no power supply.

Motherboard: A motherboard of a computer is responsible for connecting all the components of the system. It is central hub of the computer. So for integrating a CPU to make a computer work motherboard is necessary.

Networking Hardware: A network hardware includes router, switches, hub, bridges and each of them a crucial role to form the network for a computer. Internet is very important for the development of career.

Networking Media: Using different platforms of networking media can be a turning point in anyone's career. Getting in touch with the industries and getting aware about their work and policies, choosing the right industry to work in. It is all possible with the help of networking media.

Ethernet: In a LAN, if different computers have to be connected Ethernet is used. For working in groups or in companies, Ethernet is used for communication among different computers.

IP networking and IP Configuration: This provides IP addresses to computers which uniquely identifies different computer over the network to communicate with other computers. Sharing of data is possible with IP.

Wireless: Bluetooth,infrared & NFC​​​​​​​: These devices allow to access devices like printer from any where but within the range making the work easy for development and it also saves time.

SOHO Configuration: While working in the office, different computers have to be connected and if they are connected with the same network, then the data that is being shared remains protected and is shared effectively.
