Which type of memory is volatile, meaning its contents are lost when the power is turned off?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which memory type is volatile and loses its contents when power is turned off. The provided option is: a. RAM.
 RAM, or Random Access Memory, is the classic example of volatile memory. It stores data temporarily as electrical charges in capacitors and flip-flops, which require a continuous power supply to maintain those charges. When power is removed, these charges dissipate, and the stored information is lost.
 In contrast, non-volatile memory types (such as ROM, flash memory, or hard drives) retain data without power because they use storage mechanisms that do not rely on sustained electrical charge.
 Since the prompt presents RAM as the option and RAM is indeed volatile, this choice aligns with the defining characteristic described in the question. The question does not present any other options to evaluate, so the analysis focuses on why RAM fits the volatile memory criterion and why non-volatile options (in general) would not.
