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. ROM (Read-Only Memory) is nonvolatile: data stored in ROM maintains integrity after loss of power.
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: -Non-volatile memory is used for parts of the computer that do not change, such as the initial boot-up portion of the software, or the firmware instructions that make your printer run. Turning off the computer does not have any effect on ROM. Non-volatile memory cannot be changed by users.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -RAM is a volatile memory that holds the files we’re operating on temporarily. The ROM is a non-volatile memory that holds our computer’s instructions indefinitely.
