Question

Name the basic logic gates and draw their symbols.

Answer 1

Sure! The basic logic gates are fundamental building blocks of digital circuits and perform logical operations on one or more binary inputs to produce a binary output. Here are the names and symbols of some of the most commonly used basic logic gates:

AND Gate:

OR Gate:
Symbol:

lua

 |       |
 |   ∨   |
 |       |

NOT Gate (also called Inverter):
Symbol:

lua

  ---
 |   |
 |   o--
 |   |

NAND Gate (NOT AND):
Symbol:

lua

  -------
 |       |
 |   ↑   |
 |       |
  -------


NOR Gate (NOT OR):
Symbol:

lua
Copy code
  -------
 |       |
 |   ↓   |
 |       |
  -------


XOR Gate (Exclusive OR):
Symbol:

lua
Copy code
  -------
 |       |
 |   ⊕   |
 |       |
  -------


XNOR Gate (Exclusive NOR):
Symbol:

lua

Each gate performs a specific logical operation based on its inputs, and the output is represented by a binary value (0 or 1). These logic gates are combined in various ways to design complex digital circuits used in computers, calculators, and other digital systems.
