Detailed explanation-1: -Volatile memory can be categorized into static random-access memory (SRAM) and dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) while nonvolatile memory may be divided into several groups (see Fig. 17.1).
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -An example of volatile memory is RAM (random access memory). When you are working on a document, it is kept in RAM. If the computer you’re using is disconnected from power, your work is lost because it was not stored in permanent (non-volatile) memory.
