Microcontroller › 8051 › pull up resistor ›  hi guys, extension of this

 hi guys,

 

extension of this doubt…

 

why is the value of pull-up resistor used = 10k? for a supply of 5V, this yields a current of 0.5mA..

 

How does the microcontroller know whether there is a high signal or low signal on this pin?
