What type of signal is produced by a permanent-magnet wheel speed sensor?
A) Digital, AC
B) Digital, DC
C) Analog, AC
D) Analog, DC
Permanent-Magnet Wheel Speed Sensor
A sensor that uses a permanent magnet to detect wheel speed, often used in anti-lock braking systems.
Analog
Pertaining to or using signals or information represented by a continuously variable physical quantity such as spatial position or voltage.
Digital
Pertaining to technology that encodes data as discrete numerical values, often represented as ones and zeros, for processing, storage, and transmission.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A permanent-magnet wheel speed sensor produces an analog signal because its output varies continuously with wheel speed. The signal is AC because the voltage polarity changes as the wheel rotates, creating a waveform that alternates.
