5. Fig. 8.1 is a schematic diagram of an electronic circuit controlling a lamp.

temperature sensor

B
relay lamp

Light sensor
Fig.8.1
The output of the temperature sensor is high (logic 1) when it detects raised
temperatures. The output of the light sensor is high (logic 1) when it detects raised light
levels. The lamp is lit when the input to the relay is high (logic 1).
(a) Complete the truth table by giving the outputs of A and B.
