4. RAM behaves similar to a blackboard as it stores data for a short while and can be constantly

or the power is lost.
RAM is identical to a calculator which stores data when it is on and loses all the data when it
is turned off.

when the computer is shut down. The external memory is also called secondary memory,
which is vital to the computer.
6. The word ‘virtual’ describes something that is not real. When we talk about virtual memory,
we mean that the memory is controlled by the operating system and not by the user. When
memory is needed by a program, a request is sent to the operating system, which decides the
location to store it.
Protected memory refers to providing closed memory area to a program. The main purpose
of protected memory is to ensure the security of the system.
