A memory address is an identifier for a memory location, at which a computer program or a hardware device can store data and later retrieve it.
Pointer is like variable address the members in memory shell
Memory is microchip; address are processor board slots
What is meant by the term 'compaction'
memory address is stored in binary form
The highest memory address in the 8086/8088 is FFFFFH.
Physical Address refers to Storage location on Physical Memory wheres Logical Addressing is used by Memory Managing Programs to refers addresses from Physical Memory and Virtual Memory.
It is nothing but the physical contacts with d IC chip, may be as I/o or O/p.
It takes 23 address lines to address 8 mb of memory.
There is no microprocessor with !t of address memory, only virtual memory. the firt one was the 80486.
The program counter in the processor holds the address of the next instruction needed from main memory. The program counter copies its contents into the memory address register. The memory address register then sends the address along the address bus to main memory and the contents of the memory location specified by the address are sent along the data bus to the memory buffer register. The contents of the memory buffer register are then copied to the current instruction register where they are decoded and executed.

Whenever anything is stored in the memory of your computer (RAM) it is stored at a specific place. Each specific place in your memory has its address that can be used to tell computer programs to go to those addresses to perform actions on the object stored at that address. It is similar to how you have your house number.
