What is a bistable multivibrator?
- A An OR gate
- B An AND gate
- C A clock
- D A flip-flop
Correct answer: D — A flip-flop. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
A bistable multivibrator is a circuit with two stable states that it can switch between and stay in until told to change, which is exactly how a flip-flop works to store a single bit of data. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
