What is a bistable multivibrator?

  1. AAn OR gate
  2. BAn AND gate
  3. CA clock
  4. 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.
