When constructing truth tables, you have to consider every last possible output
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
When constructing truth tables, it is necessary to consider every possible output. This means that all possible combinations of inputs must be evaluated in order to determine the corresponding outputs. By considering every last possible output, the truth table provides a comprehensive and accurate representation of the logical relationships between inputs and outputs. Therefore, the statement "When constructing truth tables, you have to consider every last possible output" is true.Rate this question:

Which gate gives outputs which are opposite to the outputs given by a NAND gate?
- A.
AND
- B.
OR
- C.
NOR
- D.
NOT
Correct Answer
A. ANDExplanation
The AND gate gives outputs that are opposite to the outputs given by a NAND gate. This is because the NAND gate produces a low output only when both of its inputs are high, while the AND gate produces a high output only when both of its inputs are high. Therefore, the outputs of the two gates are opposite to each other.Rate this question:

Which gate will only output 1 if both inputs are 0?
- A.
NOR
- B.
OR
- C.
XOR
- D.
NAND
Correct Answer
A. NORExplanation
A NOR gate will only output 1 if both inputs are 0 because NOR gate is a combination of an OR gate followed by a NOT gate. The OR gate outputs 1 when at least one of the inputs is 1. However, the NOT gate inverts the output of the OR gate. So, in the case of a NOR gate, if both inputs are 0, the OR gate outputs 0 which is then inverted to 1 by the NOT gate.Rate this question:

Logic gates take in binary inputs and produce a ________ output
Correct Answer
binaryExplanation
Logic gates are electronic circuits that take binary inputs, which means they only accept two possible values, usually represented as 0 and 1. These inputs are then processed according to specific logical operations, such as AND, OR, or NOT, among others. The result of these operations is a binary output, which also consists of only two possible values, 0 or 1. Therefore, logic gates take binary inputs and produce a binary output.Rate this question:

To make your output the inverse of your input you can use the ________ gate
Correct Answer
NOTExplanation
The NOT gate is used to generate the inverse of the input. It takes a single input and produces the opposite output. When the input is high, the output is low, and vice versa. Therefore, to make the output the inverse of the input, the NOT gate is the correct choice.Rate this question:

The logic notation for a XOR gate is________
Correct Answer
X= A XOR BExplanation
The logic notation for a XOR gate is "X = A XOR B". In an XOR gate, the output (X) is true if and only if exactly one of the inputs (A or B) is true, while the other input is false. This means that if both inputs are true or both inputs are false, the output will be false. Therefore, the XOR gate represents the exclusive disjunction operation, where it returns true only when the inputs are different.Rate this question:

A hexadecimal digit is equivalent to four binary digits
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A hexadecimal digit is equivalent to four binary digits because the hexadecimal number system is a base-16 system, meaning it uses 16 different digits to represent numbers. These digits are 0-9 and A-F, where A represents 10, B represents 11, and so on. In binary, each digit can only be 0 or 1, so four binary digits are needed to represent all possible values from 0 to 15 in hexadecimal. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

- A.
NAND
- B.
OR
- C.
AND
- D.
NOT
Correct Answer
D. NOTExplanation
A triangle with a circle on one of its points represents the NOT gate. The NOT gate is a basic logic gate that has only one input and one output. It performs the operation of negation, which means it inverts the input signal. When the input is high, the output is low, and vice versa. The symbol for the NOT gate is commonly represented by a triangle with a small circle at one of its points, indicating the inversion of the input signal.Rate this question:
