FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Random Access Memory is volatile. That means data is retained in RAM as long as the computer is on, but it is lost when the computer is turned off. When the computer is rebooted, the OS and other files are reloaded into RAM, usually from an HDD or SSD.

Detailed explanation-2: -Does RAM lose data when turned off? RAM is often referred to as volatile memory, because anything contained in RAM is considered lost when a computer is switched off. Indeed, all data is lost from RAM when the power supply is disconnected; so it is volatile in this context.

Detailed explanation-3: -There is some variation in practice, but the most common approach for deleting something is that the computer simply forgets where it put the information. During the operation of the computer data is moved in and out of the RAM. It gets completely deleted when the power is turned off.

Detailed explanation-4: -Since RAM is short-term data that only exists for programs that are currently running, restarting your device will clear your RAM. Some processes may be running in the background without your knowledge, and a restart is a sure way to tell those processes to stop and give your RAM a break.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
