Work Step by Step

Every computer has an internal clock, which emits electronic pulses at a constant rate. These pulses are used to control and synchronize the pace of operations. A higher clock speed enables more instructions to be executed in a given period of time. The unit of measurement of clock speed is the $hertz$ (Hz), with 1 hertz equaling 1 pulse per second.
