What is virtual memory and how the system controls the situation in the absence of it?
Virtual memory is used to increase the size of working memory in the system main memory by using the locations in secondary storage such as harddisk.
its depends on number of processes in memory.
Paging in an operating system is part of the operation of virtual memory. Physical pages of memory are being swapped back and forth for virtual pages of memory in a file on the hard disk. This swapping allows all programs to see the same memory structure (e.g. program loads at the same fixed virtual address in memory) and allows the machine to run as if it had more memory than it really does (but at a small speed penalty). Programs and utilities that are idle may stay loaded and ready to run, but paged out of physical memory until actually needed.

If you are using a modern version of Windows (Windows 95 or latter) you will be using virtual memory. Virtual memory is NOT the pagefile and it is not an extension to physical RAM but a system that is completely integrated into the system. Applications access virtual memory exclusively, no exceptions, ever. You can not disable virtual memory. You can disable the pagefile (not recommended) but this will not disable virtual memory. The system provides a virtual environment to processes that is completely independent of how much RAM is in the system. This is an advanced system that provides many important advantages to applications and users.

The difference between virtual and physical memory is that virtual memory refers to memory space while physical memory are chips like RAM. The memory space for virtual memory is made by operating system when there is insufficient physical memory.
virtual memory works just like as temporary memory does
Virtual memory, the answer is virtual memory.
Virtual memory was invented in the early 1960s

Virtual Memory-: Virtual Mem is also known as Swap memory. Swap memory:- Swap mem is the type of memory which allocates by the harddisk in the form of extra RAM for better functioning of the application in the case if you are facing a lack of RAM in order to run that software

Don't delete the virtual memory. It is essential to the running of your operating system.
