RAM (Random Access Memory) is a volatile memory, meaning that it loses its data when the computer is turned off or loses power. RAM is used to store the operating system, programs, and data that are currently being used by the CPU. When the computer is turned off, the electrical charge that keeps the data in RAM is lost, and the data is erased
