Q:

The Capacity of a Communication Channel is Measured in

A) Band rate B) Band width
C) Data flow D) Bit capacity
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Band width

Explanation:

The path that data takes from source to destination is called a Channel. A channel is a communication medium. A channel has a certain capacity for transmitting information. 

 

The "capacity" of a channel is the theoretical upper-limit to the bit rate over a given channel that will result in negligible errors. Channel capacity is often measured by its Bandwidth in Hz or its data rate in bits per second.
