Fuel Gauge is type of
A
Microcomputer
B
Analog Computer
C
Digital Computer
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of such measurements are temperature, speed, weight etc. . They measure physical quantities and convert them to numbers. Examples of analogue devices are thermometer, speedometer, fuel gauge, electric meters, petrol dispenser at petrol station and analogue ammeter.

Detailed explanation-2: -Measuring the fuel level is a purely analog thing, and difficult to do accurately, due to sloshing, expansion, density, bubbles, angle, and tank shape.

Detailed explanation-3: -The fuel gauge displays the information that is conveyed from the fuel sending unit, which is attached to/on/in the fuel tank. Based on that information, an analog gauge will move a needle up and down across a dial or a digital gauge will display a set number of bars that show how much fuel is left.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two basic types of fuel gauge on older cars, a bi-metallic resistance gauge and a magnetic or moving-iron gauge. Inside the bi-metallic gauge there is a small heating coil surrounding a strip of metal which is made up of two pieces of different metal riveted together.

Detailed explanation-5: -Give some famous examples of analog computers. Ans. Some examples are operational amplifiers, mechanical integrators, slide rules, tide predictors, electric integrators, etc. These are in use to solve the problems related to partial differential equations, electronic machines, and also neural networks.
