Digital versus Analog In analog circuits, the inputs and outputs can take a continuous range of values. In digital circuits, the inputs and outputs can be in two possible states, interpreted as {0, 1} or {on, off} or {true, false}. Note: In general, if a variable, $x$, can take one of two different values, say, $a$ and $b$, then, it can be line... Read more 29 Sep 2023 - 2 minute read

Distinction between Solids and Fluids When we interact with a solid (apply a force on it), it bends (deforms/changes shape) – the amount of deformation depends on the force. When we apply a force on a fluid, it flows – its deformation increases with time. Definition A fluid is a material in which small (suitably chosen) forces can change the re...
