Q. Memory that loses its contents when power is lost is:
(A) Static
(B) random
(C) volatile
(D) nonvolatile
Answer: Volatile
Explanation: Volatile Memory : A device which holds the data as long as it has power supply connected to it and cannot hold the memory when there is no power supply connected to it is called Volatile Memory. The best example for this can be Random Access Memory ( RAM ), which will hold memory only as long as it is connected to power source and everything in it will be cleared if it gets disconnected from power source. Volatile memory is also called as temporary memory as it will hold memory temporarily. Non Volatile Memory : A device which can hold data in it even if it is not connected to any power source is called Non Volatile Memory. The typical examples for Non Volatile Memory are your Hard drives and flash drives. Even if you turn off your PC the data in your hard drive or flash drive stays intact.
