1. When is the output of a NOR gate HIGH?

The output of a NOR gate is HIGH when all of its inputs are LOW.
2. When is the output of a NOR gate LOW?
The output of a NOR gate is LOW when at least one of its inputs is HIGH.
3. Describe the functional difference between a NOR gate and a negative-AND gate. Do
they both have the same truth table?
The functional difference between a NOR gate and a negative-AND gate lies in their
implementation, but they do indeed have the same truth table and perform the same
logical function.

NOR Gate
A B A NOR B
0 0 1
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 0

Negative-AND Gate
A B A’ B’ A’ .B’ A NOR B
0 0 1 1 1 1
0 1 1 0 0 0
1 0 0 1 0 0
1 1 0 0 0 0

As you can see, the truth tables are identical. This means that while the implementation
details may differ (whether through direct NOR logic or using inverted inputs with an
AND gate), the logical function they perform is the same. Thus, they are functionally
equivalent and have the same truth table.
4. Write the output expression for a 3-input NOR with input variables A, B, and C.

The output expression for a 3-input NOR gate is:

Output=A+B+C
