Question
which statement best describes what happens to the temporary working memory (ram) of a computer when it is shut down?
it is synced automatically with the cloud
it is saved in the users document files
it is deleted
it is saved in the computer’s data storage files
RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory, meaning it loses its data when power is removed (like when the computer shuts down). So when the computer shuts down, the temporary data in RAM is deleted. The other options are incorrect: syncing to cloud, saving to user document files, or computer data storage files don't happen automatically to RAM data on shutdown (and RAM data isn't saved to these in this way as it's temporary and volatile).
