Electromagnetic induction — practice question

EITHER: Fig. 7.1 depicts a solenoid joined to an ammeter. The S-pole of a permanent magnet is moved into the left-hand end of the solenoid. The ammeter shows that a small positive current flows in the circuit. OR: Fig. 7.2 gives the symbol for a logic gate and its truth table.
(a)[3]

EITHER: Explain why a current flows in the circuit as the magnet moves.

(a)[1]

OR: State the name of the logic gate drawn in Fig. 7.2.

(b(i))[1]

OR: Fig. 7.3 shows two of these logic gates linked to form a bistable circuit. Terminals P and Q are each at logic level 0. Terminal X is at logic level 1. Explain why terminal Y is at logic level 0.

(b(ii))[1]

Terminal P is briefly linked to a supply at logic level 1. State what happens to the logic level at terminal X and the logic level at terminal Y.

(b(iii))[1]

Terminal P goes back to logic level 0 again. State the effect of this return to 0 on the logic level at terminal X and on the logic level at terminal Y.

(b(iv))[1]

State how this circuit demonstrates memory.
