how do commands on a screen direct electrical currents in a computer?

Question

I’m not asking what computer code is. I’m asking how typing in commands physically opens/closes the little switches in computers?

Answer 1

When you call for a command, that set of instructions (in binary code) is registered by your various forms of RAM.

The RAM itself is a set of physical gates that uses Logic Systems to execute that code on a physical (electrical impulse) level, converting 1’s and 0’s into On and Off signals, which are then relayed through the physical medium of the motherboard to your processors.

i.e. RAM *is* your little switches.
