Show how a power source, a lamp and a number of switches can be used to represent the following functions: L = S1 AND S2 AND S3 L = S1 OR S2 OR S3 L = (S1 AND S2) OR (S3 AND S4) The use of a power source

The use of a power source

The use of a power source, a lamp, and a number of switches can be used to represent various functions. To represent the function L = S1 AND S2 AND S3, the following setup could be used. First, the power source would be connected to a single switch, S1. This switch would be connected to a second switch, S2. This second switch would be connected to a third switch, S3. Finally, the third switch would be connected to the lamp. In order for the lamp to turn on, all three switches must be in the on position. Therefore, the lamp would represent L and the three switches (S1, S2, and S3) would represent the function S1 AND S2 AND S3. To represent the function L = S1 OR S2 OR S3, the same setup could be used, with a few modifications. In this case, the power source would be connected to two branches: one branch would contain switch S1 and the other branch would contain switches S2 and S3 (Guo & Zeng, 2018). In this setup, either switch S1, S2, or S3 must be. Cont…
