    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?

    • Off (0) means light is On (1)
    • On (1) means light is Off (0)

    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?

  • 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
