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
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
