Answer to the question
(a) Why NAND and NOR gates are called universal gate?
Ans:NAND and NOR gates are called universal gate because with the help of NAND and NOR
gate we can make all basic gates like AND, OR, AND gates.

(b) How you can construct NAND and NOR gates using the basic logic gates AND, OR,
NOT?
Ans:Construct NAND and NOR using AND,OR, NOT gate
NAND using AND & NOT NOR using NOT & OR
(c) Construct AND, OR and NOT gate by using NAND gate only. Also, construct these
gates by using NOR gate only.
NOT using NAND AND using NAND
OR using NOR
OR using NAND
Discussion
In this experiment we have learned the operation of fundamental logic gate and how to determine
the properties of them. We also experience the process of using logic gates on proteus and how it works.
Now we can build any kind of logic operation on proteus easily.
