of Mr. A.K. Singh during the session 2015-2016 towards partial
fulfillment of credit for the Physics practical evaluation of CBSE
2015, and Submitted satisfactory report, as compiled in the
following pages, under my supervision.

MISS.REKHA SAXENA MR.A.K SINGH

(PRINCIPLE ) (PGT PHYSICS)
 The successful completion of any task would be incomplete without mentioning the
names of those persons who helped to make it possible. I take this opportunity to express
my gratitude in few words and respect to all those who helped me in the completion of this project.

It is my humble pleasure to acknowledge my deep senses of gratitude to my Physics teacher,

Teacher name for her valuable support, constant help and guidance at each and every stage,
without which this project would not have come forth.

I also register my sense of gratitude to our principal, Mr.principal, for his immense encouragement
that has made this project successful.

I would also like to thank my friends and family for encouraging me during the course of this project.
Last, but not the least, I would like to thank CBSE for giving us the opportunity to undertake this project.
 LOGIC GATE
• Actually the term logic is applied to digital circuits used to implement logic functions.
Several kinds of digital logic circuits are the basic elements that form the building
blocks for such complex digital system as the computer.
• The lines connected to each symbols are the inputs and outputs.
• The inputs are on the left of each symbol and the output is on the right.

• A circuit that performs a specific logic operation (AND, OR) is called a logic gate.
INTRODUCTION
A gate is defined as a digital circuit which follows some logical relationship
between the input and output voltages. It is a digital circuit which either allows
a signal to pass through as stop, it is called a gate.
The logic gates are building blocks at digital electronics. They are used in
digital electronics to change on voltage level (input voltage) into another (output
voltage) according to some logical statement relating them.
A logic gate may have one or more inputs, but it has only one output. The
relationship between the possible values of input and output voltage is expressed
in the form of a table called truth table or table of combinations
Truth table of a Logic Gates is a table that shows all the input and output
possibilities for the logic gate.
George Boole in 1980 invented a different kind of algebra based on binary
nature at the logic, this algebra of logic called BOOLEAN ALGEBRA.

A logical statement can have only two values, such as HIGH/LOW, ON/OFF,
CLOSED/OPEN, YES/NO,
RIGHT/WRONG,TRUE/FALSE,CONDUCTING/NON-CONDUCTING
etc. The two values of logic statements one denoted by the binary number 1 and
0. The binary number 1 is used to denote the high value. The logical statements
that logic gates follow are called Boolean expressions.
 THE AND GATE
• An AND gate can have two or more inputs and performs what is know as
multiplication.
• The output of AND gate is high when all inputs are high otherwise all outputs are
low.
THE AND GATE is a device that combines A with B to give Y as the result.
The AND gate has two or more inputs and one output. The logic gate of
AND gate with A and B input and Y output is shown below:
In Boolean algebra, multiplication sign (either x or.) is referred as the AND
The Boolean expression:
A.B=Y, indicates Y equals A AND B.
 OPERATION OF AND GATE
• An AND gate produces a HIGH output only when all of the inputs are HIGH. When
any of the inputs is LOW, the output is LOW. Therefore, the basic purpose of AND
gate is to determine when certain conditions are simultaneously true, as indicated
by High levels on all of its inputs, and produces a High on its output.

 THE OR GATE
• OR gate can have two or more inputs and performs what is known as logical
addition.
• The output of OR gate is Low when all inputs are low, otherwise all outputs are high
The following interference can be easily drawn from the working of electrical circuit is:
a) If switch A & B are open lamp do not glow (A=0, B=0), hence Y=0.
b) If Switch A open B closed then (A=0, B=1) Lamp glow, hence Y=1.
c) If switch A closed B open then (A=1, B=0) Lamp glow, hence Y=1.
d) If switch A & B are closed then (A=1, B=1) Lamp glow, hence Y=1.
 OPERATION OF AN OR GATE
• An OR gate produces a High on the output when any of the inputs is High. The
output is Low only when all of the inputs are Low. Therefore, an OR gate
determines when one or more of its inputs are High and produces a High on its
output.

 THE NAND GATE
• The NAND gate is the one of the popular logic element because it can be used as a
universal gate; that is NAND gate can be used in combination to perform the AND,
OR, and inverter operations.
• NAND Gate is constructed by attaching NOT Gate at the output of AND Gate,
hence NAND Gate is called NOT- AND Gate.
• NAND Gate has two or more input and only one output.
• The output of NAND gate is low when all inputs are high, otherwise all outputs are
high.
 OPERATION OF A NAND GATE
• A NAND gate produces a Low output only when all the inputs are High. When any
of the inputs is Low, the output will be High.

 THE NOR GATE
• The NOR gate, like the NAND gate, NOR gate is also useful logical element
because it can also be used as a universal gate.
• NOR gate can be used in combination to perform the AND, OR and Inverter
operations.
• NOR Gate is the combination of NOT gate at the output of OR gate, hence NOR
gate is type of NOT-OR gate.
• NOR gate has two or more input and only one output.
• The Output of NOR gate is high when all inputs are low otherwise the output is low.
 OPERATION OF NOR GATE
• A NOR gate produces a Low output when any of its inputs is high. Only when all of
it’s inputs are low is the output high.
