Question

What is the difference between a discrete and continuous system?

Answer 1

Answer:Discrete system are those system which change the state at the discrete point of time and continuous system are those which have state change at continuous period of time.

Explanation:

• The major difference between discrete and continuous system is that, discrete system has state change over a discontinuous time period whereas the change of state in continuous system is over a continuous time period .
• Variations can be found in the discrete system signal but  in continuous system variation cannot be found input and output signal.
• Example:-

       Discrete system:-employees reporting at office at different time like

       9:10am, 9:15am etc              

        Continuous system:-the water flow over a dam in particular quantity
