COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS QUIZ

What are the main components of a digital computer according to Von Neumann Architecture?

• RAM, ROM, Cache, and Network Interface Card

• Hard Drive, Graphics Card, Motherboard, and Power Supply

• Keyboard, Monitor, Printer, and Scanner

• CPU, Memory, Input/Output devices, and Control Unit

Explain the concept of data and instruction being stored in the same memory in Von Neumann Architecture.

• Data and instructions are stored in different types of memory

• Data is stored in a separate memory from instructions

• Both data and instructions are stored in the same memory

• Instructions are stored in the CPU, not in memory

What are the basic operations performed by computer hardware instructions?

• Arithmetic, logic, data movement, and control operations

• Singing, dancing, acting, and painting

• Reading, writing, drawing, and cooking

• Cooking, cleaning, gardening, and painting

Describe the role of operands in computer hardware instructions.

• Operands are used to store the computer hardware instructions.

• Operands are only used in software, not hardware.

• Operands are the data on which the computer hardware instructions operate.

• Operands have no role in computer hardware instructions.

What is Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and why is it important in computer systems?

• ISA is a type of computer virus

• ISA is a type of computer monitor

• ISA is a new programming language

• ISA is the interface between software and hardware, defining the instructions that a CPU can execute. It is important because it determines the capabilities, performance, and compatibility of a computer system.

Explain the concept of memory location in a computer system.

• Memory location refers to the specific address where data is stored in the computer's memory.

• Memory location is the speed at which data is processed in the computer.

• Memory location is the type of software used to manage files on the computer.

• Memory location is the physical size of the computer's hard drive.

How does the address of a memory location affect the operation of a computer?

• It has no impact on the operation of the computer

• It affects the speed of the computer's internet connection

• It determines the color of the computer screen

• It determines where data is stored and retrieved.

Describe the process of operation in relation to memory addresses in a computer system.

• The CPU directly accesses the data without the need for memory addresses.

• The CPU sends memory addresses to the memory unit to read or write data.

• The memory addresses are sent to the hard drive instead of the memory unit.

• The memory unit sends memory addresses to the CPU to read or write data.
