Detailed explanation-1: -There are two kinds of volatile RAM: dynamic and static. Even though both types need continuous electrical current to retain data, there are some important differences between them. Dynamic RAM (DRAM) is very popular due to its cost-effectiveness.
Detailed explanation-2: -RAM is volatile memory, which means that the information temporarily stored in the module is erased when you restart or shut down your computer. Because the information is stored electrically on transistors, when there is no electric current, the data disappears.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some examples of volatile memory include cache memory and random access memory (RAM). (Cache memory is a computer chip that acts as a buffer/temporary storage between the CPU and the RAM, which stores all data currently in use to be retrieved by the CPU.)
