Question 1

Circuit

Answer 1

Multiple linked logic gates that perform complicated binary calculations

Question 2

Binary

Answer 2

Communication that a computer use. 1 and 0

Question 3

Logic gates

Answer 3

Electrical components that tell a computer how to use binary calculations

Question 4

NOT Gate

Answer 4

Opposite gate. Input off = output on, input on = output off.

Question 5

XOR Gate

Answer 5

When 1 input is on, the output will be on. Otherwise all is off.

Question 6

OR Gate

Answer 6

Both inputs off = output off. Otherwise all is on.

Question 7

NAND Gate

Answer 7

Both inputs on = output off. Otherwise all on.
Aka the “not-AND gate”

Question 8

XNOR Gate

Answer 8

Matching inputs = output on. Otherwise all off.
Aka not-XOR gate”

Question 9

AND Gate

Answer 9

Both inputs on = output on. Otherwise all is off.
