What is the position of switches when the lamp is lit in an OR gate logic?

In the context of an OR gate logic, the function is defined such that the output (in this case, the lamp) will be lit if at least one of the inputs is activated. When relating this to switches, if a switch is closed, it allows current to flow through the circuit. For the lamp to be lit, at least one of these switches must be in the closed position, allowing electric current to reach and power the lamp.

When both switches are closed, the electrical circuit is complete, and the lamp will definitely be lit. Even if only one switch is closed while the other remains open, the current can still flow, resulting in the lamp being lit. Thus, the correct understanding of the state of the switches in this scenario aligns perfectly with the nature of its operation as an OR gate: at least one closed switch is required to illuminate the lamp.
