In a circuit board, either an AND gate or an OR gate has two inputs and one output. For example, let's call the inputs A and B--these are wires that, at a given time are either hot (have electric current) or cold (have no current). Let's call the output C; it is either hot or cold depending on the gate and the inputs at the time.

If the gate is an AND gete, C will be hot only when both A and B are hot. If the gate is an OR gate, C will be hot if either A or B or both are hot.
