In a standard Bus Topology, what is the purpose of placing a 'terminator' at both extreme ends of the main shared backbone cable?
A. To boost the electrical signal amplification.
B. To absorb electrical signals and prevent signal bounce or reflection back down the line.
C. To dynamically allocate IP configurations to incoming stations.
D. To convert the network structure into a ring format.
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Terminators absorb signals when they reach the end of a bus line, preventing signal reflection which would otherwise corrupt ongoing data transmissions.
