Because if input A *and* input B is true, then the output is true!

Can you obtain OR gate function from AND gate?

Well, if you mean to make the truths of an AND gate similiar to the ones of OR gates, then you can do the following: 1. Put an inverter at every input of the AND gate. This will make it act like an NOR gate 2. Put an inverter at the output of the gate. This will invert the truths and turn the NOR gate into an OR gate


What is a Judas gate?

A Judas gate is a small door located in a larger gate or door so that a person can enter without opening the lager gate or door.


What are the differences between an and gate and or gate?

In a circuit board, either an AND gate or an OR gate has two inputs and one output. For example, let's call the inputs A and B--these are wires that, at a given time are either hot (have electric current) or cold (have no current). Let's call the output C; it is either hot or cold depending on the gate and the inputs at the time. If the gate is an AND gete, C will be hot only when both A and B are hot. If the gate is an OR gate, C will be hot if either A or B or both are hot.


Can NAND gate acts a ANDgate?

Yes, but only if its output is logically inverted (a AND gate's behavior is a direct opposite of a NAND gate's behavior, logically).
