A single hard disk drive can contain all the information from many libraries. When putting the information onto the disk, the disk does not change in size or composition. Hard disk drives were first introduced in 1954 and remained a dominant technology for over 50 years. An electromagnetic wave is generated when the direction of current is repeatedly reversed. This wave creates an alternating magnetic field. Hard disk drives use a part called a write head to store information as bits. When current goes through the write head, it becomes magnetic, which magnetizes the grains. This magnetic interaction allows information to be stored in the magnetized grains of the disk as either a “0” or a “1,” with each 0 or 1 being considered a single bit. This system of using zeros and ones to store information is known as binary code. Bits are shown as downward- or upward-pointing arrows in Figure 1.

Which capital letter was recovered?

Required

1

Each capital English letter is stored by a sequence of magnetic interactions between the write head and the magnetic grains, as shown in the table. A bit string is obtained by writing bits 1-8 from left to right.

Construct an explanation about how wave interactions store information on a hard disk drive. Support your answer with evidence from the information in Figure 1.

Make a claim about:
• the type of magnetic interaction that is produced when a current is applied to the write head;
• why this magnetic interaction is produced, and
• the bit that results from this interaction.
