What is the primary difference between an analog signal and a digital signal?
Analog signals are continuous, while digital signals are discrete.
Digital signals are continuous, while analog signals are discrete.
Analog signals are used only in computers, while digital signals are used in nature.
Digital signals are always represented by sine waves.
Which of the following is an example of an analog signal?
