NOT
There are two options for the current to flow: (i) through the transistor when it is short-circuited or
(ii) through the LED when the transistor is open circuit.
When, switch is open (logic 0), both CB and BE
Output
junctions are reverse biased and no current (OFF or ON)
flows through the collector to emitter. Hence,
Input
the current flows through LED (logic 1). (OFF or ON)
C
When, switch is close (logic 1), both BE and CB
B
junctions are forward biased and all the current
E
flows through the collector to emitter. Hence, no
current flows through LED (logic 0).

Q. What will happen if you pass the input through two series NOT gates?
Explanation: The three OR gate inputs A, B, and C are varying, as shown by their waveform diagrams. The OR gate output is determined by realizing that it will be HIGH whenever any of
the three inputs is at a HIGH level. Using this reasoning, the OR output waveform is as shown in the figure. Particular attention should be paid to what occurs at time t1.The diagram shows
that, at that instant of time, input A is going from HIGH to LOW while input B is going from LOW to HIGH. Since these inputs are making their transitions at approximately the same time,
and since these transitions take a certain amount of time, there is a short interval when these OR gate inputs are both in the undefined range between 0 and 1.When this occurs, the OR
gate output also becomes a value in this range, as evidenced by the glitch or spike on the output waveform at t1.The occurrence of this glitch and its size (amplitude and width) depend on
the speed with which the input transitions occur.

AND
AND gate using transistor works similar as
AND gate using switch. We need 2 inputs
and 1 output device that are buttons and
LED respectively.
If both the buttons are ON (logic 1) then
both the transistors are short circuited, only
then current flows through LED. If one of
them is OFF (logic 0), that BJT is open
circuited, and LED is OFF.
