This is a brief description of an analogue computer

An analog computer is a form of computer that uses the continuously changeable aspects of physical phenomena such as electrical,mechanical, or hydraulic quantities to model the problem being solved. In contrast, digital computers represent varying quantities symbolically, as their numerical values change. As an analog computer does not use discrete values, but rather continuous values, processes cannot be reliably repeated with exact equivalence, as they can with Turing machines. Analog computers do not suffer from the quantization noise inherent in digital computers, but are limited instead by analog noise.

Analog computers were widely used in scientific and industrial applications where digital computers of the time lacked sufficient performance. Analog computers can have a very wide range of complexity. Slide rules and nomographs are the simplest, while naval gunfire control computers and large hybrid digital/analog computers were among the most complicated.[1] Systems for process control and protective relaysused analog computation to perform control and protective functions.

Does the picture from a high-quality digital camera have better resolution than a picture from a similary-priced analogue camera?

This really depends on the expierence and budget of the photographer. With an analogue camera you do have to guess on how the picture was captured as well as how the pictures will be developed. Digital cameras in higher price ranges have been consumer rated to have higher quality as well as the ability to edit digitally.

Why mack computers never get virouses?

Mac computers are designed with less security flaws, so there is less to exploit. Also pcs are more for business meaning that there is a higher market and a higher gain for putting a virus on pcs.


When will HD TV become compulsory in the UK?

There is no published plan or date for television broadcasts to be HD anywhere in the UK or Europe. However, HD is different to digital. Digital television is replacing analogue broadcasting and by 2012, all analogue transmitters will be turned off. The replacement is Freeview, the digital equivalent of the analogue system with many more channels added. At present, in 2009, Freeview is available throughout almost the whole of the UK. It is up to each householder to obtain a Freeview set top box or digital television before the local analogue transmitter is turned off. The analogue switch off is already in progress. HDTV offers higher resolution and is available on Sky, FreeSat and in the future, on Freeview. There is no compulsion to have HD and standard definition channels will be around for many many years to come.


Discuss the series operation of LASCR?

You would get output when the intensity of the applied light is higher and series current would make the current amplitude higher.
