What does Boolean algebra deal with?
Binary values
:
true
(
1
) or
false
(
0
)
How do Boolean operations assist computers?
They help make
decisions
and process
information
What is the output of an AND gate when all inputs are true?
True (1)
How does an AND gate operate?
Outputs
true
only when all
inputs
are true
What is the significance of Boolean algebra in computing?
Performs
logical
calculations
Enables decision-making in computers
Processes information based on logical rules
What is the analogy used to explain the AND gate?
Two
light switches
control a
lamp
Lamp turns on only if both switches are on
How many inputs does the AND gate require to output true?
All inputs must be
true
(
1
)
What are the conditions for the outputs of the OR gate?
False
(0)
and
False (0) → False (0)
False (0) and
True
(1) → True (1)
True (1) and False (0) → True (1)
True (1) and True (1) → True (1)
What happens when you press any doorbell connected to an OR gate?
The doorbell rings
How does the OR gate differ from the AND gate?
OR needs at least one
input true
What does a NOT gate output when the input is true (1)?
It outputs
false
(
0
)
What does the OR gate output when at least one input is true?
True (1)
What are the basic operations used in Boolean algebra?
AND
,
OR
, and NOT
If the inputs to the NAND gate are A = 1 and B = 0, what will the output be?
1
What is the function of a NOT gate?
It
inverts
its input
What are the four possible input combinations for the NAND gate?
A = 0, B = 0
A = 0, B = 1
A =
1,
B = 0
A =
1,
B = 1
What is the truth table for the NAND gate shown in the image?
The truth table shows the output of the NAND gate for all possible combinations of the two
inputs
A and B
How can the NOT gate be compared to a light switch?
Off
(0) means light is
On
(1)
On (1) means light is Off (0)
What does the truth table for the AND gate illustrate?
The relationship between
inputs
and output states
What is the name of the logic gate shown in the image?
NAND gate
How does a NAND gate operate compared to an AND gate?
It
inverts
the
output
of an AND gate
What is a NAND gate?
A Not AND gate that
inverts
output
What happens to the lamp when both switches are true?
The lamp turns on (
True (1)
)
What is the output of a NAND gate when both inputs are true?
False
What are the possible input combinations for two switches in the AND gate?
False (0)
and
True (1)
What is the truth table for the 2-input NOR gate?
Input A, Input B,
Output (A + B)'
0, 0, 1
0, 1, 0
1, 0, 0
1, 1, 0
How does the output of a NOR gate compare to an OR gate?
It produces the
opposite
output
What is the output of the NAND gate for each of the four possible input combinations?
A =
0
, B = 0 → Output =
1
A = 0, B = 1 → Output = 1
A = 1, B = 0 → Output = 1
A = 1, B = 1 → Output = 0
What is the state of the lamp when one switch is true and the other is false?
False
(
0
)
What is the name of the logic gate shown in the image?
2-Input
NOR Gate
What is the key difference between the outputs of a NOR gate and an OR gate?
NOR gate outputs false when
inputs
are
true
What is the output of a NOR gate when all inputs are false?
True
What is the truth table for a NOT gate?
| Input | Output |
|-------------|------------|
|
False
(0) |
True
(1) |
| True (1) | False (0) |
What is the NOR gate also known as?
Not OR gate
When does a NOR gate output true?
When all
inputs
are
false
What are the use cases of the XOR logic gate?
Parity checking
in digital circuits
Implementing addition in
binary arithmetic
Generating random numbers
Cryptography
and data encryption
What is the name of the logic gate shown in the image?
XOR
What does a NOT gate output when the input is false (0)?
It outputs
true
(
1
)
What is the value of OR(0,1)?
1
Compare the conditions for AND, OR, and XOR gates.
AND: Both inputs
must
be true
OR: At least one input must be true
XOR: Exactly one input must be true
