Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A computer has a 16-bit address bus and a data bus of 32 bits. Calculate the total number of memory locations addressable, and how much data can be transferred at once.

💡 Hint: Use the power of 2 for both address bus and data bus calculations.

Question 2

Analyze the effects of increasing the address bus from 16 bits to 32 bits in terms of memory capacity and practical applications.

💡 Hint: Think about current computing needs and how addressable memory allows for it.
