If you are cruising down the freeway, you can get about the same information on, say, your speed, if you look at an analog meter as a digital one. But if you are braking and your speed is changing, a digital meter will be "fluttering" as it continuously gets a new reading to post, and it won't be able to tell you how fast you're going. (This had to do with the way the sensors "sample" the speed to display it.) In the analog meter, the needle will be falling as you slow down, and the human brain has a better "grasp" of the "meaning" of the falling needle than it has of blinking numbers on a display. Certainly as the needle on an analog meter passes a specific mile-per-hour marker, you can see how fast you were going. But it is the value of the moving needle in the analog meter and the ability of the brain to "understand" it that makes it so much more effective than a digital display.

Why is a pulsing voltage easiest to read on an analog meter?
This is because digital meters do not continuously update the display. My meter for instance only shows a new number twice a second. If the voltage peaks between updates, you will never see it. Analog meters continuously follow the voltage, and the eye can follow the pointer as it peaks. Many electricians and technicans still hang on to their beloved Simpson 260 analog meter for this very reason. Many digital meters now have a little bargraph below the main display, set to act like an analog meter, to make this type of visual measurement possible. It should be noted that even the analog meter does not respond perfectly to voltages that change quickly, because the physical mass of the meter movement cannot accelerate insantaneously. So, if you see the needle "pulse", you know there was one, but you cannot rely on the needle to show the true peak. Such measurements are used to see the trend or get a rough idea of what is happening in the circuit. If you need to find the exact value, use an oscilloscope!
What is analog time?
I thank that antalog time is the time on a analog clock, It makes since analog time on a analog clock.
Why should only high-impenance meters be used on modern vehicles?
High impedance meters are used on modern vehicles because of the amount of sensors they have in them. The meters are equipped to handle the circuitry of todays vehicles.
Why should high-impendance meters be used on modern vehicles?
High impedance meters should be used in modern vehicles due to the vast array of circuitry they consist of. Modern cars and trucks have sensors that just about control everything.

How is the voltage measureing range of the basic analog meter movement extended?
shunt resistances are used to increase the range of ammetes and moreover it is praticularly then we have to low value shunt resistance.
What happens when you amplify an analog signal?
Well analog is usually used to carry sound so amplifying the analog signal would make it louder.
What do most analog meters use to facilitate the needle movement?
a magnetic field that is produced by flowing electrons
