Polar topology

Polar topology is like playing with toy cars on a race track that goes around in a circle. Imagine that you have a race track that is shaped like a circle and you have some toy cars that can only move on this track. Now, if you want the cars to move around the track without colliding with each other, you would use a polar topology.

In this topology, each toy car would have a fixed spot on the track, which we can call a pole. The toy cars would then move around the track in a circular motion, but they would always stay on their designated side of the pole. So, the cars on the left side of the pole would only move counterclockwise, while the cars on the right side would only move clockwise.

This way, each car can move around the track without getting in the way of the others. It's like they're all running their own race, but the track keeps them separated. Think of it like how runners stay in their own lanes during a race on a track.

Polar topology is used in computer networking to connect devices in a circular fashion. This means that each device has its own connection to the others in a circular pattern, ensuring that data is transmitted efficiently and without collisions. It's like a communication race track.
