Hey, I wanted to this question but I can't find any button to answer. I am using Firefox on PC. I am new new to Brainly, is this quetion locked from more answers or something?? BTW I can give you the answer as a comment if you want.
So I figured that on Brainly, a question can only have 1 answer. I am going to post my answer as a comment here in the next post
RAM is very fast memory and is used by Processor to store data related to any applications that it is currently running. It is small because it is not needed to be large, it is temporary and very expensive. Secondary storage is large because it is used by user to store any of their files. It is permanent but much slower so Processor cannot use it for running applications.
Remember that any programs that you install are still saved on Secondary storage(like HDD, SSD etc.) but when you run it, it is loaded into RAM by Processor to work on it.

RAM - Random Access Memory.
Computer stores all its data and memory in RAM. It's size is very small but in real it has a large space and can store the memory of the computer.

can you explain in brief??
yes
then plzz do it for me
You told that RAM is smaller in size
see i am giving you my whole question then you give me the ans,
But it can have larger space or higher range of storing the data. That's why It is kept as the memory of the computer. It is designed in such a way that it can store large amount of data
really?
Computer systems always have small RAM, yet it mostly has a large
secondary memory like hard disk? Why? The access time of a hard
disk is much larger than RAM, even than RAM is smaller in size than
hard disk. Justify.
