Hi
I'm not a science or physics student - quite a layman. Therefore, please keep your replies simple and explanatory so that your guidance and help can be fully appreciated. Thanks.
What are these logic gates - AND, NOR, NAND, etc? Are these some physical circuits?
In Boolean algebra '0' stands for absence of DC current and '1' for presence of the current. Right? Assuming I'm correct, when it's '0' there is no current, no question about it whatsoever. But when it's '1' that means there is current flowing because it could not be static. But how much current, 1A, 2A, or what? For how long does it flow? Bytes and bits are written as collections of '0's and '1's, does this mean bytes etc. are made up of surges of DC current?
Thanks a lot for all the help and your time.
