Question : 18
Total: 19
Write the truth table for circuit given in figure below consisting of NOR gates and identify the logic operation (OR, AND, NOT) which this circuit is performing.

(Hint: A = 0, B = 1 then A and B inputs of second NOR gate will be 0 and hence Y = 1. Similarly work out the values of Y for other combinations of A and B. Compare with the truth table of OR, AND, NOT gates and find the correct one.)
Solution:  
Let us find the Boolean expression for the logic circuit.

So, output Y =
X
= (
A+B
)
= A + B
Hence, the output of given logic circuit shows that logic circuit act as OR gate.
