Answer / faiyaz
This logical adresses mainly operates when cpu stores or perform some action. Unless and until any execution is done
by cpu which allocates some space in memory location.
whereas physical address is the address which tells adresss of particular instruction are loaded in memory.

Answer / george isange
Logical Addresses: Logical addresses are generated by the CPU.
When the program is executed the CPU
takes this layout image that the compiler made and hands
out some addresses (logical ones) to the ones generated from
the code.
Physical Addresses: The physical addresses are not generated
until after the CPU generates some set of logical addresses
(consisting of a base address and an offset). The logical
addresses go through the MMU or another device and somewhere
along the line the logical addresses are mapped to physical
RAM addresses.

Answer / vrushali
A Physical address is a 48-bit flat address burned into the ROM of the NIC card which is a Layer1 device of the OSI model. This iis divided into 24-bit vendor code and 24-bit serial address. This is unique for each system and cannot be changed. In computing, a physical address, also real address, or binary address, is the memory address that is represented in the form of a binary number on the address bus circuitry in order to enable the data bus to access a particular storage cell of main memory.
A logical address may be different from the physical address due to the operation of an address translator or mapping function. Such mapping functions may be, in the case of a computer memory architecture, a memory management unit (MMU) between the CPU and the memory bus, or an address translation layer, e.g., the Data Link Layer, between the hardware and the internetworking protocols (Internet Protocol) in a computer networking system.

Answer / makgwela
logical address refers to memory location independent of the current assignment of data
physical address is the actual location in main memory.

Answer / kediguru
in a network logical address is formed with dhcp
installation which distributes ip address logically without
assaigning by a user.
while physical address is assinged by the
user(administrator) him self.
