Memory capacity of analog computer?
Analog computers do not have memory like digital computers do, so this question has no answer as written.Analog computers have widely varying architectures, unlike modern digital computers which are all some variant of the stored program architecture first developed in the late 1940s.The most common analog computing architecture from the 1920s through early 1980s and implemented both mechanically and electronically was the Integrating Analog Computer. On such computers the capacity was specified by the number of Integrators. A small computer might have 8 integrators while a large one might have 50 integrators.
Which is faster an analog computer or a digital computer?
built with the same level of technology, analog computers are always faster but less accurate than digital computers. however as little significant work on analog computers has been done since the 1980s, they currently significantly lag behind digital computers in speed.
What are some examples of analog computers?
abacus old-fashioned cash register (with gears and handle) gear-driven clocks/watches ---- Actually the above are examples of mechanical computers, not analog computers. Analog computers use continually variable quantities. An abacus uses discrete units of measurement and is digital, though not binary. A slide rule is an example of a simple mechanical analog computer. Another example is the Norden Bomb Sight. An ancient example is the astrolabe. More complex analog computers are programmable and can use fluid, mechanical, or electronically set values. There is a link below to an article on analog computers.
Can we process data in computers in analogue form?
Absolutely, but those are called analog computers and operate very differently than the way digital computers do.Electronic analog computers long predate electronic digital computers and until the invention of the microprocessor were almost always less expensive than electronic digital computers. In some cases hybrid computers were built composed of a digital computer, an analog computer, and converter circuits so that data could be transferred back and forth between the two computing sections of the machine.The most common type of electronic analog computer was the electronic differential analyzer, but there are many other types that have been built for solving specific classes of problems (e.g. electronic harmonic analyzers, electronic finite element analyzers) via electronic analog means.
What are the characteristics of digital analog and hybrid computers?
• digital computers work on discrete data representing quantities by encoding (e.g. integers, coded alphanumeric characters, coded floatingpoint numbers). • analog computers work on continuous data representing quantities by analogy (e.g. voltages, currents, shaft rotation rate, shaft position). • hybrid computers are a combination of digital & analog computers connected together to work as one machine.

What do electronic computer manufacturers produce?
Included in this industry are digital computers, analog computers, and hybrid digital/analog computers.
Does Analogue computers have a higher accuracy in their operation?
This is a brief description of an analogue computerAn 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.Source: Wikipedia
What is an analog modem?
A analog modem is a typical modem found in personal computers. A digital modem is similar to a DSL type modem. Most computers do not have digital modems.
Are modern computers binary machines?
ALL computers are binary machines !
What are the most basic analog devices?
Analog devices are everywhere. Clocks and watches were all analog until the coming of the digital age. Some early computers were analog, worked by manipulating voltages rather than binary digits. Broadly, devices are either analog or digital.
Are computers analog machines?
Some are, but most have been made obsolete by modern inexpensive high speed digital computers. The few that remain now are in specialized applications where speed and smooth transitionsare more important than very accurate results. Even in those places digital computers called DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) are rapidly encroaching.
Why do computers have difficulty with analog information?
Computers DO use analogue methods to transfer information.Modems, for example (short for "Modulator/DEModulator") use either frequency shift or phase shift to transmit information.Your monitor, even if it is a digital monitor, is using light to transmit information to your eyes, which is an analogue medium.Even your wireless connection uses frequencies (analogue) representing ones and zeros to your computer; where the frequencies are converted back to ones and zeros by the wireless card.

What is the answer for a question 'how do you do'?
Hybrid computers are computers that exhibit features of analog computers and digital computers. The digital component normally serves as the controller and provides logical operations, while the analog component normally serves as a solver of differential equations.
