This set of Switching Circuits Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Boolean Algebra Basic Operations”.
1. Identify the logic gate corresponding to the below symbol.
a) NAND gate
b) OR gate
c) AND gate
d) NOT gate
View Answer
Explanation: The NOT gate is the only logic gate with a single input. The other logic gates like OR, AND, NAND etc. have more than one input.
2. Identify the operation represented by the following switching circuit.
a) NAND
b) OR
c) AND
d) NOT
View Answer
Explanation: As the switches are connected in series, the AND operation is realised because current flows only when all of the switches are closed.
3. The NOT gate has only one input.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The NOT gate accepts only one input and inverts it. If the input is 0, the output is 1. If the input is 1, the output is 0.
4. Switches connected in parallel represent which operation?
a) OR
b) AND
c) NOT
d) NAND
View Answer
Explanation: Switches connected in parallel represent OR operation, because if any one or more of the switches are closed the current flows.
5. Identify the logic gate corresponding to the below symbol.
a) OR gate
b) AND gate
c) NOT gate
d) NAND gate
View Answer
Explanation: The logic gate symbol shown above is that of the AND gate. The AND gate outputs 1 only when all of its inputs are 1.
6. Identify the logic gate corresponding to the below symbol.
a) AND gate
b) NOR gate
c) OR gate
d) NOT gate
View Answer
Explanation: The logic gate symbol shown above is that of the OR gate. The Or gate outputs 0 only when all of its inputs are 0.
7. The AND operation is also referred to as logical multiplication.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The AND operation is referred to as logical multiplication as it is not the regular multiplication, but it operates on bits and outputs 1 only when all of its inputs are 1.
8. What is the complement of 0?
a) Unknown value
b) High impedance
c) 0
d) 1
View Answer
Explanation: The complement of 0 is 1 and the complement of 1 is 0. The complement function is performed by the NOT gate.
9. What is the complement of 1?
a) Unknown value
b) High impedance
c) 0
d) 1
View Answer
Explanation: The complement of 0 is 1 and the complement of 1 is 0. The complement function is performed by the NOT gate.
10. Which operation performs Logical inversion?
a) OR
b) NOT
c) AND
d) BUFFER
View Answer
Explanation: Logical inversion is performed by the NOT gate. The output is 0 if the input is 1 and the output is 1 if the input is 0.
