AIIMS 2018 Physics Logic Gates MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12
Which of the following logic gate has only one input and one output?
A
NOT gate
B
OR gate
C
AND gate
D
NOR gate
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The NOT gate, also known as an inverter, is a logic gate that has only one input and one output, performing the operation of negation; if the input is 1 (true), the output is 0 (false), and vice versa. In contrast, the OR gate and AND gate require two or more inputs to produce an output based on their respective logical operations (disjunction and conjunction), while the NOR gate, being a combination of NOT and OR, also necessitates multiple inputs. Understanding the function and structure of these gates is essential in digital electronics, as they form the building blocks for more complex circuits.
