When the process is in memory and executing with PC value = 100

Let virtual memory concept is used when next process is scheduled and main memory doesn't have space so anyone one of the process(pages) should be swapped out to secondary memory.

If currently executing process is victim to move to Secondary storage then in order to preserve its state does OS stores its PCB also in Secondary storage ?? and restore later to MM ??

Self Doubt on Page Fault
To calculate EMAT in case of page fault we used:EMAT= page fault rate*(page fault service time) + (1-page fault rate)*(memory access time) ... time. Then why not we consider address translation time in questions involving only pagefault?
