Object code is necessary, because object code is the actual instructions, or machine language, that the computer executes. Object code is the output of the compiler, as it translates the higher level language into the machine language. It is also the output of the linker, as it combines object code modules from the compiler output and the various libraries in its process of building a fully linked load module.

Did linker converts source program into machine code?
No.That's the job of the compiler. The linker takes the pieces of object code created by the compiler and links all the necessary pieces together to produce a finished product: either an executable program or a code library that can be used in future projects.
The translator that converts source code to object code is called?
compiler
What does a compiler do when you compile your program?
Coverts source code into object code
What is difference between a source program and an object module?
An object program is a compiled program ready to be loaded on a computer, i.e. machine code, ready to be executed by the machine. A source program is what the programmer wrote, which is then translated into object program by a compiler.
When you compile source code the resulting collection of instructions is called code which is placed in a new file?
Is called machine code
