Which one of the following is not true for volatile Memory?

A CPU can read any address

B Random Access Memory

C Speeds measured in r.p. m

D Requires power to hold data

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

RAM is called 'volatile' memory by analogy because if the computer loses power, all the data stored in RAM (or other volatile memory) is lost or 'evaporates'.

The term RAM (Random Access Memory) refers to read and write memory, that is, the user can both write data into RAM and read data from RAM.
