Which of the following is a characteristic of EEPROM? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a characteristic of EEPROM?
A. It is volatile
B. It can be erased only by UV light
C. It can be electrically erased and reprogrammed byte by byte
D. It is used as main memory
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
EEPROM allows electrical erasure and reprogramming at the byte level, unlike flash which erases in blocks. It is non-volatile.

Question #1
What is the main difference between SRAM and DRAM?
A. SRAM is non-volatile; DRAM is volatile
B. SRAM is slower than DRAM
C. SRAM uses flip-flops; DRAM uses capacitors
D. SRAM needs refreshing; DRAM does not

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
SRAM uses flip-flop circuits to store each bit, while DRAM uses a capacitor and a transistor. SRAM is faster and does not need refreshing, but is more expensive. Both are volatile.

Question #3
Which unit is used to measure the rotational speed of a hard disk?
A. RPM (Revolutions Per Minute)
B. MB/s
C. Hz
D. MS

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Hard disk rotational speed is measured in RPM, e.g., 5400 RPM, 7200 RPM, or higher. Higher RPM generally results in faster read/write performance.
