Analog Computers:
A computer that performs calcula ons such as division, Analog Computer
mul plica on, etc by using con nuous varia on of physical signals such as electric and mechanical signals
to generate required output is called analogue computer.

Examples:
 Oscilloscope: It is used to monitor electronic signals.
 Tide Predictors: They use a system of gears and cams to predict the height of a wave.
 Speedometer: It is an excellent analogue computer. It consists of freely moving needle and two wires
a ached to a magnet and gear sha respec vely. When the car moves, it takes input in the form of
rota ng cam sha and due to the rota on, the magnet generates magne c field which than deflects
the needle to show us the actual speed.
 Seismometer: It uses weights and levers to detect earthquakes and plot a graph due to the vibra on
caused by earthquake which moves the weights and levers.

Necessity of Analog Computers:


 At present, we s ll need analogue computers because they are very good at performing only a certain
type of task like solving complex differen al equa ons or measuring speed, velocity, height, etc.
 If we use analogue computers for a par cular task, then they are also very accurate and perform
calcula ons using less energy thus, are more energy efficient.
 Also, analogue computers also provide greater security protec on against hacking since there are no
digital signals and can be used in firing systems of destroyers, submarines, military equipment, etc.

Comparison of Digital & Analog Computers:
