When an interrupt is pending, the processor will temporarily halt its current execution to address the interrupt signal. It saves the state of the current process, including the program counter and registers, to ensure that it can resume later. The processor then jumps to the interrupt service routine (ISR) associated with the interrupt to handle the specific event. Once the ISR completes, the processor restores the saved state and resumes the interrupted process.
