Terminal P is briefly connected to a supply of logic level 1.
State the effect of this on the logic level of terminal X and the logic level of terminal Y.
Terminal P returns to logic level 0 again.
State the effect of this return to value 0 on the logic level of terminal X and on the logic level of terminal Y.
Complete Fig. 8.3 to show the truth table for component Y.
A high voltage is shown as 1 and a low voltage as 0.

At one instant, capacitor is uncharged, output P is 1 and output Q is 0.
Describe how the voltage across resistor changes until Q becomes 1.
Describe one change to the circuit that increases the frequency of the astable circuit.
The circuit in Fig. 8.1 can be adapted to enable a lamp to switch on and off automatically.
Fig. 8.2 shows the circuit adapted using a relay and Fig. 8.3 shows the circuit adapted using a transistor.
In both cases, the lamp switches on when the temperature of the thermistor increases.
EITHER
Describe what happens inside the relay in Fig. 8.2 that causes the lamp to switch on.
OR
Describe how the circuit and transistor in Fig. 8.3 cause the lamp to switch on.
