CONTENT: PERIOD 1
The Device
A device is any machine or tools used for a particular purpose. It is a tool used to perform a specific function.
It is an object, machine, or piece of equipment that has been made for some special purpose. In computer
technology, a device is a unit of hardware, outside or inside the case or housing for the essential computer
(processor, memory, and data paths) that is capable of providing input to the essential computer or of receiving
output or of both.
Classes of device
Mechanical
Electrical
Electronic
1. Mechanical device:
A machanical device is a physical system using power to apply forces and control movement to perform
an action. The term is commonly applied to artificial devices, such those employing engines or motors.
Examples are gears, CD or DVD drive, Floppy disk drive, Hard drive, Active heat sink, Mechanical mouse
and Optomechanical mouse.
2. Electrical Devices:
The devices which convert the current into other forms of energy or work such type of devices is known
as the electrical devices. It uses the metal for conduction. The electrical devices mainly work on the high
alternating current. The power consumption of the electrical devices is also very high. Example, The fan-
is an electrical devices which convert the electrical current in the form of rotational motions. The electric
bulb, lamp, tube light, converts the current into light.
3. Electronic Device
The devices which control the flow of electrons for performing the particular task such type of devices is
known as the electronic devices. The word electronics means the study of the behaviour of electrons
under the effect of electric field. For example,The transistor,capacitor and inductor and semiconductor.
