Word Length of a Personal Computer is ______:
Options:
A .  4 Bits
B .  8 Bits
C .  16 Bits
D .  None of The Above
Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
The Word length of a Personal Computer is 8 bits.
The most common processors are/were 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit or 64-bit. These are the WORD lengths of the processor. Actually, half of a WORD is a BYTE, whatever the numerical length is. Ready for this, half of a BYTE is a NIBBLE. A byte may have more than or fewer than 8 bits. The term 'word' is used to describe the number of bits processed at a time by a program or operating system. So, in a 16-bit CPU, the word length is 16 bits. In a 32-bit CPU, the word length is 32 bits.
The hardware registers in a computer machine are word-sized. ... In this context, a word is a unit that a machine uses when working with memory. For example, on a 32-bit machine, the word is 32 bits long and on a 64 bit is 64 bits long. The word size determines the address space.
