C6: Electronics – Switches and Logic Gates

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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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
