memory circuits
When programs' application data and interrupt service routines are being executed they are held in a computer's main memory. The largest component of main memory is RAM.
If you mean computer component and IP adress, then the RAM is where all the currently being used data is being held.
the storage
No, a hard disk is not an example of software; it is a piece of hardware. A hard disk is a storage device that physically holds data, while software refers to programs and applications that run on hardware to perform specific tasks. In summary, hardware and software are distinct components of a computer system.
hardware
The data is held by RAM(random access memory) or primary memory when it's being processed.
The component that stores programs and data not currently being used by the CPU is called RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM temporarily holds data and instructions that the CPU may need for quick access while executing tasks. When the system is powered off or when programs are closed, data in RAM is lost, as it is volatile memory. For long-term storage, data is saved on non-volatile storage devices like hard drives or SSDs.
Yes, ROM (Read-Only Memory) holds permanent programs, as it is non-volatile memory that retains its data even when the power is turned off. It is typically used to store firmware and essential system instructions that are critical for booting and operating hardware. Unlike RAM, which is temporary and volatile, ROM is designed for long-term data storage.
TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip. The TPM chip holds the BitLocker encryption key (also called the startup key).
The battery.
Well it is a component on a stringed instrument that holds the strings
the registers
