class 4
Here are simple answers for Class 3 students:
1. Compare various storage devices (in terms of capacity)
Different storage devices can store different amounts of data:
Pen Drive (USB) – Stores small to medium data (like photos, files)
CD/DVD – Stores less data than pen drive
Hard Disk (HDD) – Stores large amount of data (movies, software)
Memory Card – Small in size but can store good amount of data
👉 Conclusion:
Hard Disk > Pen Drive > CD/DVD (in capacity)
2. Describe data storage unit with example
A data storage unit tells us the size of data in a computer.
Data is stored in units:
Bit – Smallest unit (0 or 1)
Byte – 8 bits
Kilobyte (KB) – 1024 bytes
Megabyte (MB) – 1024 KB
Gigabyte (GB) – 1024 MB
👉 Example:
A photo = few MB
A movie = few GB
3. Difference between Primary and Secondary Memory
| Primary Memory | Secondary Memory |
|---|---|
| Temporary storage | Permanent storage |
| Fast | Slower |
| Used by CPU directly | Not directly used by CPU |
| Example: RAM | Example: Hard Disk, Pen Drive |
