A. VOLATILE MEMORY Volatile memory‚ also known as volatile storage‚ is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information‚ unlike non-volatile memory which does not require a maintained power supply. It has been less popularly known as term Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit. Since real capacitors leak charge‚ the information eventually fades unless the capacitor
