What is the process of logic circuits in producing an output?

AI Thread Summary
Logic circuits produce outputs based on the voltage levels representing binary values, with high voltage indicating 1 and low voltage indicating 0. An OR gate outputs 1 when at least one of its inputs is 1, functioning through specific configurations of transistors. The operation of these gates is defined by their design and the arrangement of components, which determine how inputs are processed. Understanding the behavior of logic gates can be further explored through various online resources. The discussion emphasizes the fundamental principles of how logic gates interpret and respond to input signals.

I know that if 1 and 0 goes through an OR gate, it gives 1. But how does the 1 come? how it works?
thanks

Usually, logic gates work with voltage - 1 is represented by a high voltage, 0 as low voltage. For the implementation of electronic logic gates, see the various Wikipedia articles, like this one.
 
yeah I know that they work with logic gates. But the problem is how does an OR gate know to output 1, if 1 and 0 was given as outputs

The most basic logic gates can be created with transistors wired up in various different ways.

That is explained in the link I posted.
Now you have two different pages with gate implementations linked in this thread.
 
Thanks
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
