i think the memory in RAM or temporary memmory is lost and which is not saved while working

Answer 2

Your computer has different kinds of memory, some of which saves its data when you turn the power off, some which does not. Computer scientists call the former kind of memory non-volatile and the latter volatile. The reasons have to do with the electrical properties of the memory. Generally, volatile memory tends to be fast and expensive, and non-volatile memory tends to be slow and inexpensive.
