[4 marks]| A | B | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | |
| 0 | 1 | |
| 1 | 0 | |
| 1 | 1 |
2.
Write the truth table for the OR gate with two inputs, A and B. Fill in the outputs for all input combinations.
[4 marks]| A | B | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | |
| 0 | 1 | |
| 1 | 0 | |
| 1 | 1 |
3.
Write the truth table for the NOT gate with input A. Fill in the output for both possible inputs.
[3 marks]| A | Output |
|---|---|
| 0 | |
| 1 |
4.
Describe a scenario where an AND gate might be used in a real-world device. Use complete sentences.
[5 marks]5.
Complete the truth table for a NAND gate with inputs A and B.
[4 marks]| A | B | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | |
| 0 | 1 | |
| 1 | 0 | |
| 1 | 1 |
6.
Draw a logic circuit diagram for a circuit that uses an AND gate and an OR gate to produce an output. Label the inputs and the output.
[8 marks]Drawing / Sketch space
7.
Explain the difference between the AND and OR gates in your own words.
[4 marks]8.
Sketch a truth table for a simple circuit that uses a NOT gate to invert the input A. Describe the output for input A being true and false.
[5 marks]Drawing / Sketch space
9.
Create a Boolean expression for a circuit where the output is true only when input A is true AND input B is false.
[4 marks]10.
Describe a real-world example where the use of a Boolean AND operation can improve safety or security.
