Analog electrical signals are converted into digital signals by an analog to digital converter (ADC). A ramp is compared to a signal and comparator will send data bits to represent the signal value in digital value compared to a reference internal voltage.
As you may or may not know, a bit has two values, 1 and 0. They represent a current going through a circuit. If the current is running, the value is 1. Otherwise, it is 0. Simple logic. Then there is Binary language, the very primitive way of how the computer communicates. It sends information in 1s and 0s, which then get interpreted. Of course, programming languages can't get pushed through the computer in the words that we see, so the computer must convert it into it's binary language.
Bits do not have values at all. They do however have states, for example, 1= true and
0=false. It cetainly does not represent current going, flowing or otherwise trough a circuit. It is however represent a binary state meaning two states . A COMPUTER DOES NOT CONVERT THIS STATES INTO BINARY LANGUAGE. However this is the language that all machines [COMPUTERS] understand; "1" and "0". Live and learn but do not pass along bad information please.
