LOGIC GATES PHYSICISTS:

Logic gates are the basic building Joseph John Thomson –charge to mass
blocks of any digital system. It is an
electronic circuit having one or more
ELECTRONICS ratio of electron.

Robert Milikan – oil drop experiment

than one input and only one output.
The relationship between the input Thomas Edison – emission of electrons
and the output is based on a from a hot metallic surface
certain logic.
Electronics comprises the John Amborse Fleming – Edison effect
physics, engineering, and diode
technology and applications
Lee De Forest – developed a triode
that deal with the emission, having three electrode
flow and control of
electrons in vacuum and
matter.
