Q

How many possible states does a binary logic circuit have?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Binary means something that has only two possible values (like ON/OFF or 0/1). • A logic circuit processes signals that are either in one state or another, not in many levels. • Think about how many different values a single binary digit (a bit) can represent.

💭 Think About

• What does the word binary literally mean in mathematics and computing? • If a signal can only be HIGH or LOW, how many distinct states does that give you? • How many different values can a single bit store at one time?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you connect binary to the number of allowed values or levels. • Remember that a logic circuit in basic digital electronics is designed around bits, not multiple analog levels. • Eliminate any choices that would require more than two distinct stable levels for one bit.
