You have to cut a cake maximum 3 times which should make 8 equal halves

Q1. Design an xor gate using 2:1 muz
Ans. 
An XOR gate can be designed using a 2:1 MUX by connecting the inputs to the select lines and the outputs to the data inputs.
• Connect one input of the XOR gate to the select line of the MUX

• Connect the other input of the XOR gate to the inverted select line of the MUX

• Connect the outputs of the MUX to the XOR gate's output

Q2. Design an and gate using 2:1 mux
Ans. 
An AND gate can be designed using a 2:1 multiplexer by connecting one input to select line and the other input to the data input.
• Connect one input of the AND gate to the select line of the 2:1 mux

• Connect the other input of the AND gate to the data input of the 2:1 mux

• The output of the 2:1 mux will be the output of the AND gate

Q2. Find the voltage through the resistor
Ans. 
To find the voltage through a resistor, use Ohm's Law: V = I * R
• Use Ohm's Law: V = I * R, where V is the voltage, I is the current flowing through the resistor, and R is the resistance of the resistor

• If the current flowing through the resistor is 2A and the resistance is 5 ohms, the voltage would be V = 2 * 5 = 10V

• Make sure to use the correct units for current (Amps) and resistance (Ohms) to get the voltage in Volts

Q5. Explain the working of a capacitor and resistor and relation between resistance and length , area
Ans. 
Capacitors store electrical energy while resistors limit the flow of current. Resistance is directly proportional to length and inversely proportional to area.
• Capacitors store electrical energy by creating an electric field between two conductive plates separated by an insulating material

• Resistors limit the flow of current in a circuit by dissipating energy in the form of heat

• The resistance of a resistor is directly pr...read more
