Question

Statement 1: NOT gate is also called inverter circuit
Statement 2: NOT gate inverts the input order
(A) Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true. Statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1
(B) Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true. Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1
(C) Statement 1 is true and statement 2 is false.
(D) Statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true

Answer 1

Hint: Logic gates are digital gates and they perform a given function which is predetermined but depends upon the input given. Also, they are fed digital inputs-0&1. These are the building blocks of integrated circuits.

Complete step by step answer:
NOT gate is an electronic circuit that produces an inverted version of the input at its output. It has one input A and one output Y as shown in the figure below

NOT gate is also known as Inverter because it inverts the given input. For example, if the input is 1 then the output is 0 and vice versa. Thus, the first statement is true.
Also, it is well established that it inverts the input, so the second statement is also true and statement 2 is the correct explanation of statement 1. Thus, the correct option is (A).

Additional information:
The (o) present at the end of the NOT gate symbol denotes a signal inversion of the output signal. NOT gates can also be derived from NAND and NOR gates by connecting together ALL their inputs to a common single input signal.

Note:Always remember the NOT gate has only one input and one output signal.It will help you identify the NOT gate in most of the cases because mostly we used to derive NOT gate from the universal gate.
