PSEB Class 10 Computer Networking Practice

Computer Networking is an important Computer Science topic that explains how computers and other devices are connected to share data, information, hardware, software, and internet resources. Students learn the basic components of data communication and the role of devices such as hubs, switches, routers, modems, and access points.

Questions from this topic may ask students to define a computer network, identify sender, receiver, message, medium and protocol, compare LAN, MAN and WAN, recognise different network topologies, understand wired and wireless media, and distinguish simplex, half-duplex and full-duplex communication modes.

Use this 20-question practice test before broader Class 10 Computer Science revision. After completing the test, review every explanation carefully and repeat the test after revising weak areas such as network types, topology, transmission media, network devices, protocols, and basic security.

What to Review for Computer Networking

Focus on network basics, types of networks, topologies, devices, media, and transmission modes.

Network Basics

Review computer network, node, client, server, sender, receiver, message, transmission medium, protocol, resource sharing, file sharing, data communication, NIC, IP address, and URL.

Types and Topologies

Practice LAN, MAN, WAN, PAN, bus topology, star topology, ring topology, mesh topology, tree topology, hybrid topology, physical topology, and logical topology.

Devices, Media, and Security

Revise hub, switch, router, modem, access point, twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, fibre optic cable, wireless media, simplex mode, half-duplex mode, full-duplex mode, bandwidth, firewall, password, malware, and safe network use.

Key Computer Networking Concepts to Remember

Before repeating the test, make sure you can connect each term with its role in communication. Most questions become easier when you first decide whether the topic is about a network type, topology, device, medium, protocol, or transmission mode.

Common Mistakes in Computer Networking Questions

Computer Networking questions often depend on exact definitions and differences between similar terms. When checking your result, see whether one of these common mistakes affected your answer:

  • Confusing network with internet
  • Confusing client with server
  • Forgetting that a node can be any device connected to a network
  • Confusing sender with receiver
  • Forgetting that protocols are communication rules
  • Confusing LAN with WAN
  • Thinking MAN is smaller than LAN
  • Confusing bus topology with star topology
  • Forgetting that star topology uses a central device
  • Confusing hub with switch
  • Confusing switch with router
  • Forgetting that a router connects different networks
  • Confusing wired media with wireless media
  • Confusing simplex with half-duplex communication
  • Forgetting that full-duplex allows communication in both directions at the same time
  • Thinking bandwidth means physical cable length
  • Ignoring basic network security such as passwords and firewall protection

Computer Networking Practice FAQ

Common questions about this PSEB Class 10 Computer Science Computer Networking practice test.

Yes. The Computer Networking practice test is free to use and does not require registration, payment, or a subscription.

The test contains 20 multiple-choice questions with four answer options, instant result checking, and detailed explanations.

Review computer network, node, sender, receiver, protocol, LAN, MAN, WAN, topology, hub, switch, router, modem, transmission media, communication modes, bandwidth, and network security.

A computer network is a group of two or more connected computers or devices that can communicate and share resources.

LAN stands for Local Area Network. It connects computers and devices within a small area such as a room, building, school, or office.

Network topology is the layout or arrangement of computers, devices, and connections in a computer network.

A hub sends data to all connected devices, while a switch sends data more intelligently to the intended device, improving network performance.
