Q35 / 100
What is the difference between "volatile" and "non-volatile" memory?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) Volatile memory loses its data when power is removed (like RAM); non-volatile memory retains data without power (like flash memory)
A
Correct Answer
Volatile memory loses its data when power is removed (like RAM); non-volatile memory retains data without power (like flash memory)
Explanation
This distinction is critical in embedded design: program code and configuration that must survive power loss go in non-volatile memory (flash/EEPROM), while temporary variables use volatile RAM.
