A laptop computer has two internal signals: An unplugged signal, which is '1' if the laptop's power supply is connected, and '0'

otherwise. A low battery signal, which is '0' if the laptop's battery has reached an almost empty state, and '1' otherwise. Suppose the laptop's power control system accepts a single hibernate signal which determines if the laptop should change its current operating state and shut down. If the laptop should shut down when the battery is low and its charger is unplugged, which gate could be used to produce the hibernate signal?

Answer:

The correct usage is a NOR gate which is indicated in the explanation.

Explanation:

The truth table for the given two signals, namely

p=unplugged signal

q=low battery signal

can  form a truth table of following form

Here p has 2 states

1 if the power supply is connected

0 otherwise

Similarly q has 2 states

0 if the battery has reached almost zero state

1 otherwise

As the condition for the Hibernate Signal is given as to only activate when the battery is low and the power supply is not connected. This indicate that the value of Hibernate signal should be 1 when both p and q are 0.

Using this condition, the truth table is formed as

unplugged signal | low battery signal |  Hibernate Signal

            0               |                 0             |             1

            0               |                 1              |             0

            1                |                 0             |             0

            1                |                 1              |             0

Now the truth table of NOR is given as

a    |     b    |  a or b   |   ~(a or b)

0    |     0    |      0      |        1

0    |     1     |      1       |        0

1     |     0    |      1       |        0

1     |     1     |      1       |        0

This indicates that the both truth tables are same thus the NOR gate is to be used for this purpose.

Why are using some special characters (@, #, !, etc.) not a good idea?
konstantin123 [22]
There are pros and cons to using special characters in email subject lines. Generally, marketers report higher open rates.

Some report better engagement, but many don’t.

There are also reports of special characters causing problems with deliverability, mostly because spammers became very fond of special characters for a while.

Which component is in discreat type? A.power IC B.regular IC C.Resistor D.digital IC​
Finger [1]

Answer:

C. Resistor

Explanation:

A discrete component can be defined as any electronic component that are built as an individual or single unit.

Basically, a discrete component comprises of a single circuitry element, either an active element such as a vacuum tube, transistor etc or a passive element such as a resistor, diode, capacitor, inductor etc.

Hence, a discrete component is different from an integrated circuit (IC) or hybrid circuits because it is typically constructed or built with a single circuit element while integrated or hybrid circuits are constructed as a multiple unit.

Additionally, most discrete component are mainly semiconductors and as such consume large amounts of current.
