10 Questions
What are the values of the variables in Boolean algebra?
True and false
Which algebra uses logical operators like conjunction and disjunction?
Boolean algebra
Who introduced Boolean algebra?
George Boole
What was the title of Charles Sanders Peirce's work related to Boolean algebra?
"A Boolian [sic] Algebra with One Constant"
In which fields has Boolean algebra been fundamental?
Digital electronics and modern programming languages
What are logic gates primarily used for?
Performing Boolean functions on binary inputs to produce a single binary output
Which components are commonly used to build logic gates?
Diodes and transistors
What is the primary technology used in the construction of most modern logic gates?
MOSFETs (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors)
What is the purpose of cascading logic gates?
To compose Boolean functions and construct a physical model of Boolean logic
Why are compound logic gates like AOI and OAI often employed in circuit design?
Their construction using MOSFETs is simpler and more efficient than the sum of individual gates
