COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Read-only memory (ROM) is nonvolatile: Data stored in ROM maintains integrity after loss of power.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is computer RAM? 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: -RAM is a volatile type of memory, meaning that all information that was stored in RAM is lost when the computer is turned off. Volatile memory is temporary memory while ROM (read-only memory) is non-volatile and holds data permanently when the power is turned off.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
