Why is there just one way that information may go along the address bus?
The term "bus" refers to a series of cables that are used to transfer data from one place to another in a computer system. The bus may be either one-way or two-way depending on what is going on at any one moment. Give an example of this phenomena or idea using the current fleet of buses.
The many parts of a computer's central processing unit are connected to one another by means of parallel electrical conducting wires. Can you please explain the meaning of these line designations?
