Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #1342 (Set 45)

What statement is true concerning random access memory (RAM)?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — RAM is volatile memory and the contents of RAM are lost when the power is removed.

Random Access Memory functions as volatile volatile storage, meaning all data and variable states contained within the memory cells are immediately and permanently lost upon the removal of system power, requiring continuous electrical supply during operation.
