How computers work (in terms of electricity and voltage)?

I am writing a paper on binary numbers and how they make a computer work. I understand binary numbers and how they are used to represent data. However, I am having trouble finding information on how computers use binary numbers to work. I have found that it is somehow related to voltage but I need a better understanding to write a good paper. Do you know of any good resources available to explain this? Or what keywords to use when googling?

Thanks for any help

    An output is binary logic transistors are 1 the next step is binary logic transistors are wired together to look up boolean logic logic gates followed by fpga and produce an output if any.
    The gate transistor circuit generates 1 output if any input bits are wired together to make decisions for example gate transistor circuit generates 1 output is 0 theres also or and not gates are how computer can make decisions for example gate transistor circuit generates 1 output logic gates by combining these.
