Reasons for use of Binary system in the design of Computer

Reasons for use of Binary system in the design of Computer:

The reasons of using binary system by the computer are:
  1. Electronic components naturally operate in a binary mode. A core is magnetized in anticlockwise (0 state) or clockwise (1 state); a switch is either open (0) or closed (1); electrical pulses are either absent (0) or present (1).
  2.  With the use of any two states, the circuit design is simplified, cost is reduced and reliability is improved.
  3. Finally, the binary system is used because everything that can be done with a base 10 can be done in binary.
