Is computer disks are volatile?
Computer disks are not volatile. Only RAM is.
What does a sandwich shop a computer and a casino have in common?
Chips! A sandwich shop sells chips, a computer has computer chips in it, and a casino has poker chips.
What are computer chips and what are some examples of chips in a computer?
Computer chips are I.C.s (Integrated Circuits) exaples of which are Memory (RAM Chips) CPU Processor, Video Chips.
What is memory and what are some types of memory in a computer?
Memory is how the computer stores the data, like say that mp3 you are listing to. There are two types of memory: Volatile and non-volatile. Volatile memory is usually faster, but once power is removed, all the data is gone. Non-volatile memory is slower, but it doesn't lose the data when power is cut. RAM is an example of volatile memory. It is quick so the computer can access data fast, but when the power is shut off, it gets reset. A hard drive is an example of non-volatile memory. When power is removed, it still retains that end of year term paper you need, but it is slower and unsuitable for holding variables that the computer needs to access quickly.
What is meant by volatile and non-volatile memory?
non volatile memory is memory that doesn't wipe after the computer shuts down e.g: Flash memory.
How do computers keep the memory of their binary codes after they are off?
There are two types of memory in a computer - volatile and non-volatile. Volatile memory is the Random Access Memory (RAM) which is lost after the power is cut. The non-volatile memory is the hard drive which permanently writes information (binary code) to metal platers using magnet charges. After the computer is powered off, the magnetic charges do not change.
What is the different between volatile and non volatile?
Volatile memory is temporary memory that is lost when then computer is shut off (RAM). Non-volatile is permanent memory that that holds its data even when the computer is shut off (ROM, NVRAM). Volatile memory is memory that disappears after you turn off your computer RAM is a big example of that because all the memory on RAM disappears after you turn off your computer. Non-Volatile memory is memory that even if you turn off your computer it will still be there. A huge example of that is hard drive memory. volatile= disappears after the computer is turned off Non-Volatile= never disappears.
What is considered the short-term memory used by the computer that is erased when the computer is shut down or rebooted?
That's called RAM (Random Access Memory). It is what's called 'volatile' memory - in that if power to the chips is removed, they lose their contents.
Where The information stored in RAM is erased when the computer is turned off?
Main computer memory is called volatile memory. It holds data only as long as it is provided power. When you turn off the computer, you remove power from the memory chips and they loose the ability to hold data. If you want to keep your information, ensure you save it to the computer hard drive before you switch off the computer.
What are chips made from?
Computer chips are made from silicon and sand that has a high quartz content. Computer chips help to store computer memory.
