**Understanding Diodes and Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs)**How familiar are you with the connections between a diode and a light-emitting diode (LED)? In this section, we will explore the similarities and differences between these components, as well as visually represent their symbols and discuss their meanings.### Graphical Representation and Explanation**1. Diode Symbol:** - The diode symbol consists of a triangle pointing towards a line. The triangle represents the anode side, while the line represents the cathode. - Diodes allow current to flow in one direction (from anode to cathode) and block it in the opposite direction.**2. Light-Emitting Diode (LED) Symbol:** - The LED symbol is similar to the diode symbol, with additional arrows pointing away from the diode. - These arrows indicate the emission of light when electrical current passes through. ### Key Characteristics- **Functionality:** - A standard diode primarily acts as a one-way switch for current. - An LED performs the same basic function but also emits light, making it useful for indicators and displays.- **Applications:** - Diodes are commonly used in circuits for rectifying signals, while LEDs are used in lighting and display technologies.By understanding these symbols and their functionality, we can better grasp the roles these components play in electronic circuits.

Task: DL34. In digital electronics, a NAND gate (NOT-AND) is a logic gate which produces an output which is false only if all its inputs are true; thus, its output is complement to that of an AND gate. A LOW (0) output results only if all the inputs to the gate are HIGH (1); if any input is LOw (0), a HIGH (1) output results. A NAND gate is made using transistors and junction diodes.
