Why do you use binary digits to represent the presence or absence of electronic signals?

Since binary number digits only have 2 states (0 or 1) they are inherently useful to represent events which can be categorized into to states (signal present or absent, for example). A signal could come from a sensor which represents that something has happened (maybe it's part of an alarm system, and the sensor detects when a door is open or closed). Since it is a number, a microprocessor can be programmed to perform certain actions when this takes place.

What does a 1 and a 0 represent in a computer?
The 1 and 0 are the binary system that computers were built on. They represent the turning on and off of electrical signals that pass information through a computer.
Digital fourier analyzer?
digital fourier analyzer analyses the signals in the form of fast fourier transform.
What is the optimum length for a half-wave aerial that requires to transmit and receive 1 MHz signals?
An aerial length of 750 metres is required
What is a afva-11-240?
AFVA 11-240? AFVA stands for Airforce Visual Aid and 11-240 refers to a Sticker style aid that defines Control Tower Light gun signals used at an airport. If direct radio communication is lost with those operating inside the Controlled Movement area (CMA) the signals can be used communicate instructions.
What are the applications of binary counters?
Binary counters are used in simple timing operations. They can generate clock signals among many other less than complex operations.
Why do we use binary digits to represent the presence or absence of electronic signals?
Computers process Logical Structured Information which in Physical world needs to be stored for Later Reuse. Computers recognize BITs - 0s and 1s as smallest unit of Data represented as Presence or Absence of Electric Signals from the Storage Media.
Why is digital signal immune to noise?
Digital signals can gather information with noise because the information component is determined whether its presence or absence a data bit. Digital signals can processed by digital circuit components they are cheaper an easily to create in many components on a signal chip.
Is a transistor a small electronic switch?
A transistor is used to switch electronic signals.
What are computers run by?
Electricity and Electronic signals.
A device that conveys information with analog signals and digital signals is called?
An Electronic Device
The word organic signals the presence of what molecule?
Carbon
A substance such as litmus that signals the presence of something?
indicator
What are the 2 types of electronic signals?
digital and analog
Why do you have to turn off your cellphones and electronic devices before flight take off?
I believe the signals from the electronic devices could interfere with cockpit and/or tower electronics/signals.
How information travels in your personal computer?
Information is stored in a number of different ways, including the orientation of magnetic domains such as in a hard drive, the bias of transistors in solid-state memory or (rarely nowadays) the presence or absence of material as in punch-cards. Information travels between locations of storage almost universally by digital electronic impulses forming digital data signals. The complexities of this are too extensive for this website.
Is fan is an electronic or electrical?
electrical. it does not amplify or modulate signals.
What are the two basic kinds of electronic signals?
Analog and digital :)
