Aim:
To build and test real AND and OR gate circuits using push buttons and an LED.
Requirements:
-
2 push buttons
-
Breadboard
-
Battery (3V or 9V with resistor)
-
LED
-
Jumper wires
Steps:
-
Build OR Gate Circuit
-
Connect both push buttons in parallel.
-
Connect them to the LED and power supply.
-
Press either button.
-
LED should light up.
-
-
Build AND Gate Circuit
-
Connect both push buttons in series.
-
Connect them to the LED and battery.
-
Press both buttons at the same time.
-
LED should light up only when both are pressed.
-
Working:
Students see how logic gates work in real-life circuits:
-
OR gate = Any one ON → Output ON
AND gate = All ON → Output ON
