ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator) had huge advantage over Mark I because it used electronic valves in place of the electromagnetic switches. In the beginning, ENIAC was used for calculating the path of artillery shells. For which other was weapon design was it utilized?

hydrogen bomb
atom bomb
agnimissile
fighter aircraft E. None of the above

The correct answer is: A. hydrogen bomb

ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first general-purpose electronic computer. It was built in 1946 by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania. ENIAC was used to calculate the path of artillery shells during World War II. It was also used to design the hydrogen bomb.

The hydrogen bomb is a thermonuclear weapon that uses the heat of a nuclear fission reaction to trigger a nuclear fusion reaction. Fusion reactions are much more powerful than fission reactions, and hydrogen bombs are therefore much more powerful than atomic bombs.

ENIAC was used to design the hydrogen bomb by calculating the equations that describe the behavior of a thermonuclear reaction. These equations are very complex, and they would have been impossible to solve without a computer like ENIAC.

ENIAC was also used to design other weapons, such as the atom bomb and the intercontinental ballistic missile. However, it was most important for its role in the development of the hydrogen bomb.

The other options are incorrect because they are not weapons that were designed with ENIAC.
