D

It is non volatile

Memory Computer Science VERIFIED
Correct Answer : D
Explanation :

Random Access Memory(Primary Memory) is example of a primary storage device. Primary storage`s key differences from the others are that it is directly accessible by the CPU, it is volatile, and it is non-removable.

4. In which of the following memories does a computer store data and programmes, when the processor uses them?

A

Main Memory

B

Secondary Memory

C

Disk Memory

D

Programme Memory

Memory Computer Science VERIFIED
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :

Main memory holds data and processing instructions temporarily until the CPU needs it. This control center, called the central processing unit (CPU), is a highly complex, extensive set of electronic circuitry that executes stored program instructions. ... Recall that a computer`s memory holds data only temporarily, at the time the computer is executing a program. There are two main kinds of semiconductor memory, volatile and non-volatile. Examples of non-volatile memory are flash memory (used as secondary memory) and ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM memory (used for storing firmware such as BIOS). ... Typical secondary storage devices are hard disk drives and solid-state drives. Primary storage, also known as main storage or memory, is the area in a computer in which data is stored for quick access by the computer`s processor. The terms random access memory (RAM) and memory are often as synonyms for primary or main storage.

9. Identify the volatile memory from the following options

A

ROM

B

Hard Disk

C

RAM

D

Pen Drive

Memory Computer Science VERIFIED
Correct Answer : C
Explanation :

Volatile memory, in contrast to non-volatile memory, is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information; it retains its contents while powered on but when the power is interrupted, the stored data is quickly lost. Volatile memory has several uses including as primary storage.

12. The access time of primary storage is

A

slower than secondary storage

B

faster than secondary storage

C

same as secondary storage

D

slower than secondary storage initially and faster after booting

Memory Computer Science VERIFIED
Correct Answer : B
Explanation :

As programs and applications are stored in main memory, primary storage provides fast and efficient access to the CPU. On the contrary, secondary storage is more of a long-term storage solution with substantial data storage capacity which makes them relatively slower than their primary counterparts
