Binary Number System
Electrical Electrical circuits/switches circuits/switches have one of two have one of two states – on or states – on or off (light off (light switch)switch)
Binary Number System
Binary SystemBinary System (Base of 2) – uses two numbers to (Base of 2) – uses two numbers to represent the states: represent the states: 11 for for ONON and and 00 for for
