Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Read-only memory (ROM) is a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices. Data stored in ROM cannot be electronically modified after the manufacture of the memory device.
Detailed explanation-3: -A computer’s main or primary memory is called as RAM (random access memory). It is the working memory which is used to store data and programs on a temporary basis.
