How computers work (in terms of electricity and voltage)? 1

behindthemask asked:


I am writing a paper on binary numbers and how they make a computer work. I understand binary numbers and how they are used to represent data. However, I am having trouble finding information on how computers use binary numbers to work. I have found that it is somehow related to voltage but I need a better understanding to write a good paper. Do you know of any good resources available to explain this? Or what keywords to use when googling?

Thanks for any help
