P2

Line towards the negative end

*P stands for Position.

Discussion:
1. When the Diode was in Position 2 the LED lit up. When the Diode was in Position 1 the
LED did not light up.
2. If the LED is reversed in position it will not light up, since only one side allows the
current to flow through. If the resistor is reversed in positions it wont affect the flow of
electricity, it allows electricity to flow on both sides.
3. The diode is a semi-conductor that only allows electricity to flow in one direction.

Conclusion:
Based on the data provided, Diodes are semiconductors that only allow electricity to flow in one
direction.

Discussion
1. With circuit (a), the LED was moderately Bright, when we added a resistor to the series
circuit it became dimmer. While the series circuit was the brightest.
2. For circuit (a) Rt=470 ohms, for circuit (b) Rt=470 ohms+470ohms=940ohms. For c,
1/Rt=1/470+1/470= 235 ohms. This explains why the parallel circuit was the brightest
since it has less resistance.
3. The parallel circuit will become brighter will the series circuit would become dimmer.
Conclusion
As you add resistors to a parallel circuit the less resistance. As you add resistors to a series circuit
the more resistance.

Off

Discussion:
1.If the input wire is connected to the ground bus, the circuit is at logic 0 and the LED does not
turn on. If the input wire is connected to the 5 volt bus, the circuit is at logic 1 and the LED does
turn on.
2. This circuit can be used to monitor another digital circuit by attaching the input wire to the
digital circuit. If the LED powers on, the digital circuit is at logic 1. If the LED does not turn on
then the digital circuit is at logic 0.
Conclusion:
Digital Circuits are circuits that have two states.

1. The conditions must be that input A and input B must be on high.

2. The conditions must be that one or both inputs are at low.
Conclusion: AND Gates respond only when both inputs are at high.

1. If input A or B is at high, then the LED will be on.

2. If A and B is at high, then the LED will be off.
Conclusion: Or gates respond if at least one of the inputs are at high.

1. To invert signals, the 7404 integrated circuit was design

2. It would invert the inversion. Meaning that it would take the signal originally put into
the first chip.
Conclusion: Inverted chips invert signals.

All inputs are true except when both inputs are at high.
Both inputs are at High.
N stands for negative.
They are the same but instead NAND gates are true when both input are at low and when
they are both at high the NAND gate is at false. This is the opposite for AND gates.
Conclusions
NAND gates work when the inputs are both at low or one is at low.

Both inputs need to be at low.

One input need to be high and one has to be low or both can be at high.
N stands for negative
Or gates and an inverter becomes a NAND gate .
Conclusion
Nor gates are true when both inputs are at low or high.

1. One has to be at high and the other at low.

2. Both have to be at high or low.
Conclusions:

3. The Curve I found was it quickly decreased.

4. On Monitor or TVs.
5. The higher the microfarads on the capacitor the lower the frequency gets, the
lower the microfarads on the capacitor the higher the frequency.

The lower the resistance the higher the frequency, the higher the resistance the lower the
frequency.
