Detailed explanation-1: -Volatile memory, in contrast to non-volatile memory, is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information; it retains its contents while powered on but when the power is interrupted, the stored data is quickly lost. Volatile memory has several uses including as primary storage.

Detailed explanation-2: -RAM is volatile memory used to hold instructions and data of currently running programs. It loses integrity after loss of power. RAM memory modules are installed into slots on the computer motherboard. ROM (Read-Only Memory) is nonvolatile: data stored in ROM maintains integrity after loss of power.

Detailed explanation-3: -Volatile memory is a type of memory that maintains its data only while the device is powered. If the power is interrupted for any reason, the data is lost.

Detailed explanation-4: -The volatile memory stores data and computer programs that the CPU may need in real-time, and it erases them once a user switches off the computer. Cache memory and RAM are types of Volatile memory. Non-volatile memory, on the other hand, is static. It remains in a computer even after a user switches it off.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is also referred as temporary memory. The data within the volatile memory is stored till the system is capable of, but once the system is turned off the data within the volatile memory is deleted automatically.
