A circuit board or more precisely a printed circuit board (PCB) is a mechanical structure that provides support for mounting electronics and electrical components and connecting them with conducting traces or wires.
PCBs are designed to perform a specific electrical or logical function. So what and how a circuit works will depend on its design. e.g. a circuit board in a TV processes audio/video TV signals. An audio amplifier circuit board amplifies and makes audio signals louder. Similarly various circuit boards in a Personal Computer perform different functions e.g. PC mother board, TV tuner card, USB/Firewire Card, Graphics cards are all circuit boards and perform different tasks. All of them need power (typically a DC voltage) for various components and circuits to work.

CoachA circuit board by itself does nothing it is just a place of real estate for devices and circuits to be placed on to do some work.

A motherboard is the main circuit board of the computer?
The main circuit board of a computer is referred to as the motherboard.
What is the most largest and important circuit board in a computer?
The largest and "most important" circuit board in a computer is the so-called motherboard of the machine. It's the central or primary printed circuit board, and it is the real estate onto which the microprocessor (the "brain" of the machine) and just about everything else plugs on, in or to.
Central or primary circuit board for the computer?
The "primary circuit board" for a computer is called the "Motherboard". This is the board that contains the housing and sockets for all of the coprocessors, resistors, and circuit pathways that make your computer operate. This board also contains expansion slots, in which you insert expansion cards, extending the capabilities of the system.
How do you identify a printed circuit board mean of shape size number?
You would have to look inside your computer and take the circuit board out and examine it. It should have the information on it.
What is a printed circuit board that houses a processor and RAM?
This is commonly called a "Mother board"A MOTHERBOARD OR A MAINBOARD
