The Difference Between a Latch and a Flip-Flop
A latch and a flip-flop are both types of circuit elements used in digital electronics to store binary data.
A latch is a type of circuit that can be used to store a single bit of data and has two inputs, SET and RESET, that determine its output state. A latch will hold its output state as long as the power is applied, regardless of the state of its inputs.
A flip-flop, on the other hand, is a type of circuit that can also store a single bit of data and has a clock input, which is used to control when the output state changes. Unlike a latch, the output state of a flip-flop will only change in response to a change in the clock signal, not in response to changes in its inputs.
In summary, a latch is an asynchronous circuit that holds its output state based on its inputs, while a flip-flop is a synchronous circuit that holds its output state based on the state of its inputs and the state of its clock signal.
Properties of Positive Rays
2. The nature of these rays depends on the gas used in the discharge tube.
3. These rays travel in straight lines. They cast a shadow of the object in their path.
4. These rays get deflected by an electrical field, and bend towards the negative plate. Thus the deflection of the positive rays is in a direction opposite to that shown by the cathode rays.
5. These rays are also deflected by the magnetic fields in the direction opposite to that of the cathode rays.
6. These rays can produce mechanical as well as chemical effects.
7. The ratio of charge (e) to mass (m), i.e.,(e/m) for the particles in the positive rays is not the same for all gases.
8. The ratio e / m for the positive rays is very low as compared to the e / m value for cathode rays.
9. Positive rays affect photographic plate.
10. They can produce ionization in gases.
11. They cause fluorescence.
