Computer Science - 9210 OxfordAQA

Units Of Information

Gbogbo ọrọ náà

A phone camera fills a memory card, a film download stalls at ninety per cent, a spreadsheet refuses to attach to an email. Every one of those everyday frustrations is the same question asked in different clothing: how much room does this take up, and how much room is there? Answering it needs one unit that everything else is built from, and a set of names for the very large multiples of that unit that real files actually reach.

This lesson gives you both. You will learn what a bit is and why it is the smallest piece of information there can be, why bits are handled in groups of eight, and the four prefixes this specification examines: kilo, mega, giga and tera. You will also learn something that trips up a lot of candidates and quite a few adults: there are two rival definitions of a kilobyte in circulation, and OxfordAQA has told you in writing which one it will use in your exam.

Ebumnobi

  1. Know that:
  2. a bit is the fundamental unit of information
  3. a byte is a group of 8 bits.
  4. Know that quantities of bytes can be described using prefixes.
  5. Know the names, symbols and corresponding values for the decimal prefixes:
  6. kilo, 1 kB is 1,000 bytes
  7. mega, 1 MB is 1,000 kilobytes
  8. giga, 1 GB is 1,000 megabytes
  9. tera, 1 TB is 1,000 gigabytes.

Imagine a light switch. It is on or it is off, and there is no third position. Now imagine you and a friend agree in advance that the switch being on means come over and being off means stay where you are. You have just built a one-switch communication system, and the interesting thing about it is that it is the smallest such system that can possibly exist. A switch with only one position would carry no message at all, because you would learn nothing from looking at it.
