No, it uses electrical charge.
It's not strictly correct to call it "electrostatic", though, since electrostatic generally refers to high voltages in the hundreds to hundreds of thousands of volts, where RAM uses voltages (usually) below five volts.

Is sulfur magnetic or non magnetic?
Not magnetic
What are magnetic and non magnetic materials?
Magnetic: Fridge magnet Non magnetic: Milk
Is silicon magnetic or non magnetic?
It non magnetic
Is caesium magnetic or non magnetic?
Non magnetic!!
Is potassium magnetic?
no potassium is not magnetic :(
How is data stored on hard discs?
by a magnetic code or ram
What was full name RAM?
Random Access Memory, as verses Sequential Access Memory (delay lines, magnetic tape, magnetic drum, magnetic disk, etc.)
Is random RAM also volatile?
Yes, or at least Mostly Yes. RAM is random (RAM=Random Access Memory) and most forms of RAM today are volatile. But magnetic core memory (from the 1950s, now only available in museums) is not.
Are magnetic tapes permanent storage or temporary?
Magnetic storage:Yes magnetic tapes are permanent storage and are the best permanent storage. These are very slower storage but are very cheap storage then RAM or other kind of memory.
What is the four storage devices and the the approximate size of each?
One storage device is RAM. Also Magnetic Media, Flash Media, and Optical media. Your welcome :)
What memory has an magnetic hard drive to improve system performance?
If you are referring to RAM, none because it would slow it down. Hard drives and floppies are magnetically written to.
Are magnetic disk and optical disk secondary storage devices?
Yes both are secondary storage devices. Primary storage devices include RAM & ROM. Secondary storage devices include magnetic disks like hard disks and cds(optical disks)
What is magnetic disk?
RAM:(RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY)RAM is the primary storage device and the data and instructions are stored temporarily in it. It takes the same amount of time to access any location in RAM. CPU can perform two types of operations on Ram, these are:ReadWriteRead operation:during read operation the contents of memory location are copied to a CPU register.Write operation:During write operation the contents of a CPU register are copied to the memory location.
Is a flash disc magnetic technology or optical technology?
A conventional hard disk is magnetic.
Draw a table showing generation of computers and their characteristics?
GENERATION TABLE period (1944_1959) (1959_1965) (1965_1970) very small then laptop smaller than much smaller 10 times faster then then 2nd 3rd gener size of computer very huge first computer generation speed of computer low speed 10 times 100 times E PROM more then S RAM faster then 3rd generatin first generation computer main memory magnetic ROM PROM DRAM tape RAM storage device punched magnetic magnetic floppy disk disk storage device tape card and magnetic tape
What media is not magnetic storage media?
Non-magnetic storage media include: CDs, DVDs, Laserdiscs, and Blu-Ray (optical) NAND, Flash, and SD devices (thumb drives, SD cards, and Solid State drives) RAM drives and SRAM (Static RAM) RFID and similar radio-cards (typically read-only) EEPROM and other reprogrammable data, such as Firmware (electronic) If we want to get oldschool, it can also include Punch Cards (optical)
Why is the RAM called the RAM?
RAM R = Random A = Access M = Memory Let me explain it to you. So you type an "A" on the keyboard, it is stored in the RAM until the CPU (processor) is ready to display it on the screen in your text document. The CPU tells the RAM to send the data (the "A" in this case) and it is sent to the video card (into its RAM) and then after the video card does its thing it sends the "A" to the screen so you can see it. RAM stores data directly from storage devices to help the CPU keep up its speed. RAM is like a hard drive but once its done its thing it loses it instantly so it can make way for other tasks this is why its Random Access Memory. Hard Drives store information.
