Question

What is the equivalent logic gate when the output of an AND gate is passed through a NOT gate?

Hint:

A NAND gate is an AND gate followed by a NOT gate, effectively inverting the AND operation.

Answer 1

Passing the output of an AND gate through a NOT gate inverts the AND operation. Mathematically, \[ \text{Output} = \overline{A \cdot B} = A \text{ NAND } B \] Thus, the configuration behaves as a NAND gate.
