Boolean Algebra Properties and Laws

The video introduces the laws of Boolean algebra, demonstrating their derivation through logic circuits and base 10 properties. It explains how these laws simplify complex Boolean expressions, making circuits more efficient. Key laws such as annulment, identity, complement, and double negation are covered, along with Boolean operations like addition and multiplication. The video also discusses associative, commutative, and distributive properties, concluding with absorptive law and De Morgan's theorem.

Why is Boolean algebra considered a powerful tool in computer design?

• It makes circuits slower.

• It generates more heat.

• It simplifies complex expressions and circuits.

• It increases the number of components needed.

What does the annulment law state about an OR gate with one input permanently set to 1?

• The output will always match the other input.

• The output will be unpredictable.

• The output will always be 0.

• The output will always be 1.

Which law states that an input ORed with itself will result in an output equal to the input?

• Absorptive Law

• Annulment Law

• Identity Law

• Complement Law

In Boolean logic, what is the result of 1 plus 1?

• 2

• Undefined

• 1

• 0

What property allows numbers to be grouped differently without changing the result?

• Absorptive Property

• Commutative Property

• Distributive Property

• Associative Property

Which property states that the order of inputs in an AND gate does not affect the output?

• Absorptive Property

• Commutative Property

• Associative Property

• Distributive Property

What does the absorptive law simplify the expression A AND (A OR B) to?

• A OR B
