What is the name of the finned metal device that radiates heat away from the processor?

1 answer:

3 0

This is called a "heat sink", essentially, a metal plate makes indirect (its separated by thermal paste) contact with the heat spreader of a cpu (central processing unit). The concept is that the heat sink is made of highly conductive materials thus conducting heat away from the CPU, quite often you'll find a fan attached to further disparate heat away from the heat-sink. These days you'll alternative cooling methods, the most common alternative is to use watercooling (another topic). GPU (graphic processing units) also have heatsinks.

Which statement correctly explains why televisions became less bulky?

REY [17]

Answer:

The old cathode Ray tube technology was replaced by the less bulkier and more modern liquid crystal display and LED technology.

Explanation:

The old cathode ray tube uses the principle of electrical discharge in gas. Electrons moving through the gas, and deflected by magnetic fields, strike the screen, producing images and a small amount of X-rays. The tube required more space, and consumed more electricity, and was very bulky. The modern technologies are more compact and consume less power, and can been designed to be sleek and less bulky.
