🔍 Key Concepts

• Flip-flop circuit as a basic memory element • Each flip-flop has two stable states (often called 0 and 1) • Relationship between number of stable states and bits of information

💭 Think About

• How many distinct values can a single binary digit (bit) represent? • If a flip-flop can only be in one of two stable states at any given time, how many bits of information does that correspond to? • Think about how many flip-flops you would need to store a 2-bit number like 10₂ (two in decimal).

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that a bit is defined in terms of two possible states (0 or 1). • Verify that a single flip-flop has exactly two stable states, not more. • Check that the number of bits stored equals the logarithm base 2 of the number of states: bits = log₂(states).
