A synchronous or asynchronous stream of signal consisting only of zero(no voltage) and one(position voltage) is called binary data stream. They may be bytestream, wordstream and so on.
Sending unique binary pulses periodically create a binary digital signal.
For example, you want to pass the number 346F5A through binary digital signal it will be 001101000110111101011010
Break it
0011-0100-0110-1111-0101-1010 you will find the binary equivalents of each digit.
This example is very simple. Usually complex form of data are sent to and fro through data lines, be it the SATA cable of your hard drive, the USB port or the internet.

RossA binary (base-2) digit is similar to the more familiar decimal (base-10) digits - the main difference being that only two digits are used instead of 10, and the place-value of each position is 2 times as much as the one to the right, rather than 10 times as much. For more information, check the Wikipedia with the title "Radix".

A 1 or 0 in the binary number system is called?
A 0 or 1 in a binary number is called a bit. A binary number is made up of only ones and zeroes.
Was binary stands for binary digits?
No, binary is a number system.A binary digit is called a bit.
Where does the word bit come from?
It's a contraction of binary digit
What is the full form of bit in electronical engineering?
binary digit
What does hexadecimal base 16 convert binary equal?
16 is the 4th power of 2. So a hexadecimal number is converted to binary by replacing each hex digit by the 4-bit binary number having the same value. Conversely, in converting binary to hexadecimal, we group every 4 bits starting at the decimal (binary?) point and replace it with the equivalent hex digit. For example, the hexadecimal number 3F9 in binary is 1111111001, because 3 in binary is 11, F (decimal 15) is 1111, and 9 is 1001.
