A NAND gate followed by a NOT gate behaves overall as which single gate?

Answer: AND gate.

  • A OR gate
  • B AND gate
  • C NOR gate
  • D XOR gate

Correct answer: B. AND gate

Explanation: Inverting the NAND output gives NOT(NOT(A·B)) = A·B, which is the AND function.

Conductors have overlapping bands, semiconductors have a small energy gap that can be bridged by heat or doping, and insulators have a large gap that blocks conduction.
