General Science - Physics (Basics)
In digital communication, what does 'bit rate' refer to?
ANumber of bytes transmitted per second
BNumber of bits transmitted per second
CSignal strength of the transmission
DFrequency of the carrier wave
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Understand digital communication terminology

    Bit rate is the number of bits transmitted or received per second in a digital communication system.
  2. Step 2: Differentiate from other terms

    Bytes are groups of bits, signal strength relates to amplitude, and carrier frequency is the wave frequency used for modulation.
  3. Final Answer:

    Number of bits transmitted per second → Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Bit rate = Bits transmitted per second ✅
Quick Trick: Bit rate = bits per second
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing bit rate with byte rate or signal strength.
