What is a bistable multivibrator?
- AAn OR gate
- BAn AND gate
- CA clock
- DA 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.
