BICS 1302 - CHAPTER 10 DIGITAL LOGIC

What is the primary purpose of Boolean algebra in digital logic?

• To create complex mathematical equations.

• To design and analyze digital circuits.

• To simplify programming languages.

• To enhance graphical user interfaces.

Who is credited with the development of Boolean algebra?

• Claude Shannon

• George Boole

• Alan Turing

• John von Neumann

What does a logical variable in Boolean algebra represent?

• A numerical value.

• A state that can be either 1 (TRUE) or 0 (FALSE).

• A character in a string.

• A memory address.

Which logical operation yields TRUE only if both operands are TRUE?

• OR

• NOT

• AND

• NAND

In Boolean algebra, what does the NOT operation do?

• It adds two values.

• It inverts the operand’s value.

• It multiplies two values.

• It compares two values.

What is the output of an OR operation if both inputs are FALSE?

• TRUE

• FALSE

• Undefined

• 1

Which of the following is NOT a basic logic gate?

• AND

• OR

• XOR

• NAND

What is the primary function of a logic gate?

• To store data.

• To implement logical functions through interconnections.

• To perform arithmetic calculations.

• To display output on a screen.

What does a truth table represent?

• The graphical layout of a circuit.

• The binary value of each output signal for all possible input combinations.

• The algebraic notation of a Boolean function.

• The physical components of a circuit.

In the Sum of Products (SOP) form, when is the output 1?

• When all inputs are 0.

• When any input combination that produces 1 is true.

• When all inputs are 1.

• When the inputs are equal.
