Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which output device converts digital signals from a computer into sound waves?

  1. LCD monitor
  2. Actuator
  3. Speakers
  4. Inkjet printer
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CSpeakers
Speakers receive digital audio signals, convert them to analogue electrical signals, and then produce sound waves via a vibrating cone. An inkjet printer produces hard copy text/images. An LCD monitor produces visual output. An actuator produces physical movement, not sound.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following output devices produces a hardcopy output?

  1. Plotter
  2. Speaker
  3. Projector
  4. LCD monitor
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: APlotter
Award 1 mark for plotter. A plotter produces hardcopy output by drawing precise lines on paper or other media using pens or cutting tools, making it a physical, permanent output device. A is incorrect — a speaker produces audio output, which is a softcopy output as it is not permanent or physical. B is incorrect — a projector displays images on a surface but produces softcopy (visual) output. D is incorrect — an LCD monitor displays softcopy output on screen.

CIE IGCSE Computer Science: Hardware: output devices and their uses FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Computer Science questions on Hardware: output devices and their uses are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 34 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Hardware: output devices and their uses for CIE IGCSE Computer Science, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Computer Science?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Hardware: output devices and their uses practice with other Computer Science topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Hardware: output devices and their uses questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Computer Science syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Computer Science specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Hardware: output devices and their uses typically tested on CIE IGCSE Computer Science papers?
Hardware: output devices and their uses appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Computer Science papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
