Quiz Description

In A level Computer hardware quiz 2, we will be looking at components and examples of Computer hardware. This quiz will make you familiar with the computer components and their names.

Computer hardware deals with the physical parts or components of a computer, these components include the physical parts of a computer, such as a case, central processing unit (CPU), monitor, mouse, keyboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, speakers and motherboard.These parts generally communicate with the software part of the system together in order for a task to be executed. For example, it is necessary for there to be a keyboard so that commands in the form of letters can be sent to the machine for execution by the system. 

Most hardware components are input devices like mouse and keyboard, but a few are input/output devices like a printer. These devices are necessary and very important for the proper functioning of the system and for these devices to communicate well with the system, installation of drivers is necessary. These quizzes will keep helping you understand more about hardware and the functioning of hardware as well as software.
There are several quizzes on many different subjects on our website, always check them out if need be.
