Section 1: Binary

To convert binary to decimal, follow these steps:


1. Write the binary number.
2. Multiply each digit by 2position (starting from 0 on the right till 7).
3. Add up all the results.
Example: Convert 1010 to decimal.
1010= (1x23) + (0x22) +(1x21) +(0x20) = 8+0+2+0= 10
So, 1010 in binary = 10 in decimal.

Convert from binary to decimal:

101010=

1110=

10001=

1001=

To convert decimal to binary, follow these steps:


1. Write binary place values: 2n (e.g., 8,4,2,1).
2. Start from the highest value (2n) and check if it fits into the decimal number:
o If yes, write 1 and subtract that value.
o If no, write 0.
3. Repeat for the next place value until you reach 20
Example: Convert 13 to binary.
 Place values: 8,4,2,1.
 13≥8: Write 1, subtract 8 → Remaining 5.
 5≥4: Write 1, subtract 4 → Remaining 1.
 1≥21: Write 0.
 1 ≥ 1 : Write 1.
Answer: 13 in decimal = 1101 in binary.

Section 2: Logic gates

AND Gate:
 Output is 1 only when both inputs are 1.
 Truth Table:
A B output
0 0 0
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 1

OR Gate:
 Output is 1 if at least one input is 1.
 Truth Table:
A B output
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 1
 NOT Gate:
 Output is the opposite of the input.
 Truth Table:
A output
0 1
1 0

Draw and label the symbols for the following gates: AND, OR.
Create truth tables for the following gates:
a) AND gate
b) OR gate
c) NOT gate 2
 Draw and label the symbol for each logic gate used in each scenario.
 Create a truth table showing the input-output relationship based on the giving conditions.

Scenario 1: Automatic Sprinkler System


The sprinkler system activates if the soil moisture is low and it’s not raining.
Scenario 2: Security Alarm System
The alarm sounds if a motion sensor detects movement or a door sensor is triggered.
Scenario 3: Nightlight Control System
A nightlight automatically turns off if the surrounding area becomes bright.
