This document describes an experiment to study and analyze an OR logic gate. The objective is to understand the OR gate's truth table and circuit. It provides background on Boolean algebra and how OR logic works. The procedure connects push buttons and an OR gate to a bulb to test the gate's truth table. The goal is to observe and understand the function of the OR logic gate.

Experiment Title: Studying OR logic element and its circuit analysis

Objective: The objective of this experiment is to study and understand OR logic gate, it’s truth
table and analyze it’s circuit.

Background data:
Boolean Algebra :
In 1854, George Boole performed an investigation into the “laws of thought” which were based
around a simplified version of the “group” or “set” theory, and from this Boolean Algebra was
developed.
Boolean Algebra deals mainly with the theory that both logic and set operations are either
“TRUE” or “FALSE” but not both at the same time.
For example, A + A = A and not 2A as it would be in normal algebra. Boolean Algebra is a
simple and effective way of representing the switching action of standard Logic Gates.

OR Logic Gate :
The Logic OR Function states that an output action will become TRUE if either one “OR” more
events are TRUE, but the order at which they occur is unimportant as it does not affect the final
result.
For example, A + B = B + A. In Boolean algebra the Logic OR Function follows
the Commutative Law the same as for the logic AND function, allowing a change in position of
either variable. The logic or Boolean expression given for a logic OR gate is that for Logical
Addition which is denoted by a plus sign, (+). Thus a 2-input (A B) Logic OR Gate has an output
term represented by the Boolean expression of:  A+B = Q.

Procedure :
1. Make connections as following :
Page 2|3
a) Power is given to two push buttons.
b) From each output port of both buttons we gave 1 connection to the bulb and 1 to the input
of the OR Gate.
c) The output of OR gate was connected to an “S” bulb, which shows the output of the
circuit.
2. We powered on the compressor to build air pressure in the trainer.
3. Once the pressure is built in the compressor, it is switched off and the trainer is switched on.
4. We tested the circuit according to the truth table by giving power to switch buttons.
5. After studying the function of OR logic gate we powered off the trainer and remove the
tubes.
