What is RAM (Random Access Memory) ? - Definition and working of RAM

DEFINITION;-

RAM stands for random access memory it is known primary memory of a system it is a very important part of your computer system.RAM is a piece of hardware in every computer system which stores the memory of OS (Operating System) and application currently in use in it.

RAM acts as a medium between hard disc and processor to speed up the process for the transfer of data and execute the task as soon as possible.

So RAM is actually volatile. So that means data stored in RAM will only remain as long as the system is ON or we have not closed the application (software). when we close the application OS frees memory (data) from RAM

  Why do we need RAM? - Uses of ram?

RAM is a very important part of your system when you request or open some software on your system then your OS fetches that file from your hard disk or SSD and divides it into pieces and lodes it piece by piece in your ram then your ram sends it to the processor for processing and the task is achieved.

How RAM works? - Explained 

We need ram because ram store data which is currently in use. RAM stores data in form of bits ie 0 & 1 8 bits make a byte and each byte can be used to store a number(1, 2, etc) or a letter(a,b, etc)  then this can be used  to store strings 

Each black chip on RAM is basically divided into many equal-sized grids (ie 8 bits or 1 byte) which stores data
  

RAM is made up of logic gates which are used to make LATCH which is used to store a bit of information ie 0 or 1 so this how ram stores data
