Unit Information

Bit (bit)

Definition

A bit (short for binary digit) is the most basic unit of information in computing and digital communications. A bit can have only one of two values, most commonly represented as 0 or 1. All digital data is stored and processed in bits.

Current Use

Bits are fundamental to all electronic storage and data transmission. They are commonly used to measure data transfer speeds, such as bits per second (bps). In hardware, they represent the state of a transistor or a capacitor.

Kilobit (Kb)

Definition

A kilobit (symbol: Kb) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bits. It follows the SI decimal prefix 'kilo', which represents 10^3. It should not be confused with the kibibit (Kib), which is a binary unit equal to 1,024 bits.

Current Use

Kilobits are primarily used to measure low-speed data transfer rates, such as early dial-up modem speeds or low-bitrate audio streams (kbps).
