CAPE Physics Unit 2 · 2009 · Paper 2 · Question 2(b)(iv)

A logic circuit designed to operate a lamp using switches S1 and S2 connected to logic gates.

Draw a logic circuit showing how NAND gates exclusively can be used to perform the identical function of the circuit in Figure 3.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
