Question 1.
What is the role of the Program Counter in a CPU?
Show hintHide hint
Think of a system that keeps track of your current position in a list.
Question 2.
What does the Instruction Register do?
Show hintHide hint
Consider it like a book that tells you what to do next.
3Question 3.
What does the Program Counter do in a CPU's Instruction Cycle?
- A: It stores the result of operations
- B: It holds the address of the next instruction
- C: It determines the cycle speed
Show hintHide hint
Think about what keeps the CPU moving to the next task.
4Question 4.
True or False: The Accumulator is used to store results temporarily during arithmetic operations.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
What holds the value during calculations?
Question 5.
If you have the instruction 2X3A where 2 is the opcode and '3A' refers to a memory address, what does the instruction imply, and what actions will the CPU perform?
Show hintHide hint
Decode the instruction parts and determine the resulting action.
Question 6.
Given an instruction set with opcodes mapped to specific arithmetic operations, explain how the CPU would handle the sequence: LOAD M, ADD N, STORE P in two different scenarios where M equals 10, N equals 5, and P equals 0 initially.
