Question 89Electricity & Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief

A) RAM is volatile memory and the contents of RAM are lost when the power is removed. This is the correct answer. RAM, or random access memory, is a type of volatile memory, which means that the data stored in RAM is lost when the power is turned off or interrupted. The contents of RAM are only maintained as long as there is a continuous power supply to the computer or device. When the power is removed, the data in RAM is erased and the next time the device is powered on, the RAM will need to be reinitialized and repopulated with data. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the nature of RAM. RAM is not non-volatile memory, and its contents are not retained when the power is removed, unlike non-volatile storage such as hard drives or solid-state drives.
