Explanation of Solution

Main memory:

Main memory or Random Access Memory (RAM) is the volatile memory which means the information stored in that memory would be erased when the computer is turned off.

  • Main memory has a limited storage capacity so it cannot store a large amount of data.
  • The data or information stored in the main memory is directly accessed by the Central Processing Unit (CPU).

Example:

Some of the examples of main memory are,

  • RAM (Random Access Memory).
  • ROM (Read Only Memory).
  • EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory).
  • PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory).
  • Cache memory.
  • Registers.

Secondary storage:

  • Secondary storage or secondary memory is the non-volatile memory which means the information stored in that memory cannot be erased even when there is any mishap in the computer...
