What type of logic circuit allows a load to be energized until all the control switches are activated?

The type of logic circuit that allows a load to be energized until all control switches are activated is an AND circuit. An AND gate functions based on the principle that all inputs must be true (or energized) for the output to be true (or energized).

In practical application, if you consider a series of control switches wired to the input of an AND gate, the load connected to the output will only activate when each switch is closed, meaning that all conditions must be met. If even one switch is open, the circuit remains open, and the load does not energize. This characteristic is fundamental in ensuring that a specific condition is achieved before the load operates, such as safety interlocks or sequential control processes.

The NAND circuit operates in a similar manner but provides a true output when not all inputs are true, inverting the AND gate's functionality. OR circuits require only one input to be energized to activate the output, while NOT circuits inversely change the state of a single input. Therefore, for the condition described in the question, where all inputs must be activated for the load to energize, the AND circuit is the correct choice.
