Explain the primary difference between random access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM).

What will be an ideal response?


RAM chips are volatile storage devices, meaning they lose their contents if the current is turned off or disrupted (as happens in a power surge, brownout, or electrical noise generated by lightning or nearby machines). ROM is nonvolatile meaning that its contents are not lost if the power is turned off or interrupted.
