Experiment Title: Studying AND logic element and its circuit analysis
Objective: The objective of this experiment is to study and understand AND 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.

Procedure :
1. Make connections as following :
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 AND Gate.
c) The output of AND 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 AND logic gate we powered off the trainer and remove the
tubes.
