Name two different parts of an e-mail address with the help of an example.

Answer 1

An e-mail address has two main parts separated by the @ (at) symbol:

1. Username: The part before the @ symbol. It identifies the user or e-mail account.
2. Domain name: The part after the @ symbol. It identifies the mail server or service provider.

Example: [email protected]

Here, Rahul is the username, and gmail.com is the domain name.
