Green IT and Cloud Computing Essentials

Green IT Overview

(Green Computing/Technologies) refers to efficient computing resource use to minimize environmental impact, maximize economic viability, and ensure social duties. It identifies major energy consumers, environmental waste producers, promotes ecological software development, and computer recycling. Some technologies are classified as green for reducing energy consumption or CO2 emissions.

It is based on identifying technologies and energy-producing waste in computer product manufacturing,

Semiconductors, Diodes, Transistors, and Magnetic Properties

Semiconductors

Semiconductors are neither conductors nor insulators. At room temperature, they are poor conductors but can conduct electricity with external power. Examples include silicon and germanium.

Doping

To improve conductivity, semiconductors undergo a process called doping. There are two types:

  • P-Type: Dopants create “holes” where electrons are missing. Examples: Aluminum, boron, and gallium.
  • N-Type: Dopants add extra electrons.

PN Junction and Polarization

A PN junction is formed by joining a

Computer Peripherals, Interfaces, and Technologies

1. Definition and Types of Peripherals

Peripherals are devices through which a computer communicates with the outside world. They also serve as storage systems, acting as auxiliary memory. Peripherals facilitate input/output (I/O) operations, complementing the CPU’s processing. They are classified into five main categories:

  • Input Peripherals: Capture and send data to the computer for processing.
  • Output Peripherals: Display or project information from the computer. These devices convert electrical impulses

Electricity Basics

Introduction to Electricity

Electricity is the movement of electrons through a conductor, such as a wire. This movement requires an energy source, like a generator.

Types of Current

Direct Current (DC)

In direct current, electrons flow continuously in one direction, from the negative to the positive terminal of a power source. Examples include batteries and flashlights.

Alternating Current (AC)

In alternating current, the flow of electrons changes direction periodically. This is the
