Quiz On Computer Repair And Maintenance - Quiz

2.

Converts alternating current (AC) electric power to low-voltage DC power for the internal components of the computer
- Power supply
- Case
- Expansion cards
- Storage devices
Correct Answer

A. Power supply

Explanation

The power supply is responsible for converting the alternating current (AC) electric power from the wall outlet into low-voltage direct current (DC) power that is required by the internal components of the computer. It provides a steady and regulated power supply to ensure the proper functioning of the computer. Without a power supply, the computer would not receive the correct voltage and current needed to operate, resulting in it not turning on or experiencing power-related issues.

Stores the code and data that are being actively accessed by the CPU.
- CPU
- RAM
- Mouse
- Monitor
Correct Answer

A. RAM

Explanation

RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is a type of computer memory that stores the code and data that are currently being actively accessed by the CPU. Unlike other types of memory, RAM allows for fast and random access to any location, which makes it ideal for storing temporary data and instructions that the CPU needs to access quickly. Therefore, RAM is the correct answer as it directly relates to the given explanation.

Refers to computer components and recording media that retain digital data.
- Storage devices
- Fixed media
- Removable media
- Software
Correct Answer

A. Storage devices

Explanation

The correct answer is "Storage devices" because it refers to computer components and recording media that retain digital data. Storage devices are hardware devices used to store and retrieve data, such as hard drives, solid-state drives, USB flash drives, and memory cards. These devices provide a means to store and access digital information, allowing users to save and retrieve files, programs, and other data.

Mediates communication between the CPU and the other components of the system, including main memory.
- CPU
- RAM
- ROM
- Chipset
Correct Answer

A. Chipset

Explanation

The chipset is responsible for mediating communication between the CPU and the other components of the system, including main memory. It acts as a bridge, allowing data and instructions to be transferred between the CPU and RAM, ROM, and other peripherals. The chipset also controls the flow of data and manages the system's resources, ensuring smooth operation and coordination between different hardware components.
