Computer Logic Lesson #3: Crossovers

Front

What is a crossover in computer logic?

Back

A crossover is a point where two wires cross over each other without making a connection.

Front

True or False: Complicated circuits can be created without wires that cross.

Back

False

Front

What are vias in computer circuits?

Back

Vias are the little holes through which wires can connect.

Front

What materials are used to separate multiple layers of copper wire in crossovers?

Back

Insulators are used to separate multiple layers of copper wire.

Front

In the Turing Tumble, if a ball enters the crossover on the right side, where does it exit?

Back

It exits on the left side.

Front

What do crossovers simulate in electronic computers?

Back

Crossovers act like two wires crossing over each other but not touching.

Front

What is the purpose of insulators in circuit design?

Back

Insulators prevent electrical connections between wires that cross over each other.

Front

What happens if two wires touch at a crossover?

Back

If two wires touch at a crossover, it can create a short circuit, leading to malfunction.

Front

What is the role of conductors in a circuit?

Back

Conductors allow the flow of electrical current through the circuit.

Front

What is the difference between a via and an insulator?

Back

A via is a hole for connecting wires, while an insulator prevents electrical contact between wires.
