Welcome to your Hardware Test1

1.

Expansion slots on the motherboard allow users to install additional components like:

RAM sticks

The power supply unit

The CPU (Central Processing Unit)

2.

The chipset on a motherboard plays a crucial role in:

Providing power to all components

Facilitating communication between the CPU, RAM, and other devices

Storing data permanently

3.

What is the typical operating principle of an SMPS?

It stores energy in a capacitor to provide a constant DC voltage.

It switches the AC voltage on and off rapidly, controlling the average voltage output.

It uses a transformer to step down the AC voltage and then rectifies it to DC.

4.

Which of the following components is NOT directly mounted on the motherboard?

Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

Southbridge

RAM

5.

The motherboard is often referred to as the

Random Access Memory (RAM)

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Main circuit board

6.

SMPS are generally considered more efficient than linear power supplies because:

They generate less heat.

They operate at a higher voltage.

They convert all the input power to usable DC power.

7.

What is the primary function of the BIOS/UEFI on the motherboard?

Running applications and software

Providing the initial instructions for booting the computer

Processing data and calculations

8.

What is the main function of a Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) in a computer?

To regulate the voltage from the wall outlet to a constant DC voltage suitable for computer components.

To filter out noise and interference from the power supply.

To convert AC current from the wall outlet to DC current.

9.

Which of the following components is NOT typically found in a SMPS?

Rectifier

Resistor

Transformer

10.

What is a potential downside of using a SMPS compared to a linear power supply?

SMPS are less reliable.

SMPS can introduce high-frequency switching noise into the power supply.

SMPS are generally more expensive.
