What happens to data in temporary memory when the computer is turned off?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It is lost
Temporary working memory, commonly represented by RAM, needs electrical power to retain its contents. When the computer is switched off, unsaved data in RAM is normally lost. Data that must remain available should be saved to non-volatile storage such as an SSD, hard disk, or pen drive. It does not become permanent, print itself, or turn into a message.
