In a combinational logic circuit, the output(s) depend only on the present values on the input, not on any previous values. In a sequential circuit, the output(s) also depend on the previous values. A sequential circuit must contain a memory element (at least one flip-flop) to hold the state of the circuit.

As your older brother, I've been where you are—maybe not exactly, but close enough.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

What are the 2 types of logic circuit for digital system?

combinational circuit and sequential circuit


What is the difference between an Euler circuit and an Euler path?

The difference between an Euler circuit and an Euler path is in the execution of the process. The Euler path will begin and end at varied vertices while the Euler circuit uses all the edges of the graph at once.


What term for the difference in electrical energy between 2 places in a circuit?

Voltage.


Is a combinational circuit that selects binary information from one of many input lines and diretcs to single output lines?

sounds to me like a digital multiplexer (MUX)


What is the difference between a volt meter and a am-meter?

A voltmeter measures the difference in potential between two points on a circuit. An ammeter measures the amount of current passing through a point in a circuit. Although you often see them packaged together in a tool called a multimeter, they measure different quantities: Voltage, also known as potential difference, measured in volts, and Current, measured in amperes, or just amps. Also, they're used in somewhat different ways: -- The voltmeter simply touches the two points in the circuit between which the voltage is measured. -- The ammeter has the circuit current flowing through it. That means the circuit must be broken briefly, and the ammeter connected into the 'hole', before the current can be measured. (There are instruments that are exceptions, but they're rather specialized. The statement above holds generally true for the common ammeter.)
