4.	Analog computer works on the supply of ?
	continuous electrical pulses
	Electrical pulses but not continuous
	Magnetic strength
	Physical strength
	Answer: continuous electrical pulses Explanation: An analog computer works on the supply of continuous electrical pulses. Analog computers use continuous signals or measurements, such as electrical voltages, to represent and manipulate data. These signals can be amplified, filtered, and combined using analog circuits to perform mathematical operations and other computations. Unlike digital computers, which use discrete signals and binary logic to process data, analog computers are better suited for tasks that involve continuous, real-world phenomena such as physics, engineering, and control systems.
