Example PC hardware basics quiz questions

What does the CPU do in a computer?The central processing unit carries out program instructions and performs the arithmetic and logic needed to run software.

True or false: RAM keeps its data when the PC is turned off.False. RAM is volatile, so its contents are lost when power is cut, while storage drives such as SSDs keep files.

What is the main difference between RAM and storage?RAM is fast, temporary memory used for running programs, while storage such as an SSD or HDD keeps files after the power is off.

Which port carries digital video and audio over a single cable to a monitor or TV?HDMI. It sends both digital video and audio through one cable, which is why it is common on monitors and TVs.

Why does a desktop PC need a power supply unit?It converts household AC power into the low-voltage DC that internal components use, and no part of the system runs without it.

Frequently asked questions

How should I study for a computer hardware quiz?

Start with the terms you find hardest, such as CPU, RAM and storage, and write the definition in your own words. Then take a short quiz on those terms and repeat the questions you missed a day later.

How many questions should a practice quiz have?

Ten to twenty questions on one topic is a practical range, since you can finish in one sitting and see clear gaps. Longer quizzes work well for final exam review once you know the basics.

Do I need to download anything to use DeckOwl on my PC?

No. DeckOwl runs in your web browser on Windows or Mac, and you can start on the free plan without a credit card.

The free plan has no exports. Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro at $14.99/month adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
