How analog clock works?

Answer 1

An "analog" clock is a clock that has an hour hand and a minute hand. Twenty years ago, virtually all clocks were analog clocks but nowadays electronics has made it easier to display time with digits ("digital" clocks) than with hands ("analog" clocks). In an analog clock the hands of an electric clock are driven by a synchronous electric motor supplied with alternating current of a stable frequency. Digital clocks use LCDs (liquid crystal displays) or LEDs (light emitting diodes) to form the numbers indicating the time. Analog clocks usually indicate time using angles. The most common http://www.answers.com/topic/hour-hand uses a fixed numbered dial or dials and moving hand or hands. It usually has a circular scale of 12 http://www.answers.com/topic/hour, which can also serve as a scale of 60 http://www.answers.com/topic/minute-1, and often also as a scale of 60 http://www.answers.com/topic/second-though many other styles and designs have been used throughout the years, including dials divided into 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours.
